reflections of a quiet morning...

Adding to my Multitude Monday list of 1000 gifts...

#291 - #320

... quiet mornings to reflect
... time set aside for the kids to rest a little while longer
... a warm dog lying on my feet
... the anticipation of a new day
... the discovery of how good hot chai is with whipped cream

... an advent tree steeped in tradition
... Emmanuel~God with us
... The WORD made flesh
... learning, with my children, more of who He is
... awaiting His 2nd coming with eager hearts

... the warmth of love and companionship 
... a few minutes together early in the morning as I take my man to work
... the security in knowing that he comes home to me each day
... a man who works hard so I can take our kids to a 10 day toy event each year
... listening to my family pray together 

... children who work hard and have servant hearts
... the privilege of watching them serve others
... a tremendous toy drive
... $6,000 to buy new toys
... the thrill of hearing my children share the gospel as they hand out new toys

... an incredibly talented father
... the chance to hug my parents today before they go see my new niece
... the excitement our entire family has over the safe arrival of Audrey
... God's goodness in the land of the living
... healthy children, nieces and nephews

... the Light of the world
... He illumines my way
... He saved me from the darkness of my sin
... He never leaves me or forsakes me
... He's coming again!
