Sneaking Up On A Thousand

928. Concert in the park
929. Son doing his thing and smiling big.
930. Conga drums.
931. Praying, "Where will help come from?" and then seeing it arrive.
932. Friend who prays in the middle of the night.
933. And calls the next day to tell me.
934. New projects.
935. Friend who says, "Yes."
936. Work to do.
937. A quiet evening.
938. Artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, black olives, pasta, olive oil, and lots and lots of garlic.
939. Cool dry air blown in by the tornadoes.
940, Being preserved from harm.
941. Baby shower for sister's first grandchild.
942. A canoe trip.
943. Plane tickets to Chicago.
944. Hearing more of Mom's stories.
945. The hummingbird hanging out in the local greenhouse, keeping the gardener company as he watered.
946. Eating on the lakeside deck of a favorite local restaurant.
947. Surprise visit Sunday morning from a dear friend from far away.
948. Beloved pastor's return to the pulpit, to doing what God put him on this earth to do.
949. A service that ran long and nobody minded.
950. Hearing this: The battle between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Spirit is not equal and opposite warfare. God's spirit is dominant. God's spirit prevails. ..walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh, Galatians 5:16.

#944 stuck out to me...my precious momma who lives 750 miles away, tells me stories and I try to write them down as best as I can. Would love to write a book someday with these stories:)
Enjoyed the whole list!
Have a blessed week:)

Nancy, I'm visiting from Ann's blog. Congratulations on nearing 1000.

#944 also stuck out to me. My mom passed away when I was only 30 years old. As a child, I loved hearing her stories. I have attempted to write many of them from memory, but oh how I wish I had written them before her passing. Or, at least, had her speak into a tape recorder.

Blessings,
Joan

#949 makes me happy. Very, very happy. As long as God shows up, let's stay as long as we like, no?

And do not sneak, Nancy. Approach 1000 with the beating of a drum.
