Giving thanks...

Giving thanks... seeking out the gifts of grace when sickness plagues and my body is weary.

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 
and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, 
for I am gentle and humble in heart, 
and you will find rest for your souls. 
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  
Matthew 11:28-30


My list with the gratitude community at Ann's continues on this Multitude Monday...


... a few days of sunshine
... warm air
... the flowers that the April showers have brought
... family fun in the evening light
... family bike ride to see new friends


... a personal nurse
... a man who takes over when I'm down for the count
... a doctor who sees me on short notice
... a strong body
... blessed sleep


... health because I'm seldom grateful for it until I don't have it
... quality insurance
... healthy children
... limited medical bills
... the funds to pay for medical help


... a God who sees and who knows
... a friend in CA editing a Bible study for me
... peace and joy in the journey
... gifts of grace
... learning to be a grace giver
