adding to my list...

after savoring the season of giving thanks... adding to my list of 1000 gifts...


... returning to the lake... again
... time away
... extra sleep
... time with my parents
... soulful rest


... a SOLD truck!
... cash for the next vehicle
... a great hunting trip for my men
... time spent together tracking a deer in the woods
... a great dog and guinea pig sitter


... home!
... kids who help load and unload
... my big tub
... and hot water to fill it
... soaking...


... a marriage that has been seasoned enough to grow through disagreements
... a man who backs me up in front of our kids every time
... comfortable silence
... learning to be a better wife to him
... the familiar arm that pulls me close in the dark


... a God who's mercy is new every day
... His word to reflect upon
... living in new found freedom
... the desire to seek His face
... the constant lesson to desire His face above all else
