Glimpses of Gratitude {June 13, 2011}


For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.


Today I'm raising my grateful hymn to the Lord of all for the following and more:
~lavender just beginning to bloom out

~blackberries from the bush to the faucet to the mouth
~giving and receiving prayers in comments
~answered prayer for a loved one
~happy tears
~lovely, encouraging encounter with a neighbor I hadn't seen in a while
~beautiful, delicate sunrise like waves of apricot light sweeping over a cloud archipelago
~A. taking a personal day today and using part of it to accompany me to the doctor at the university hospital downtown

 ~more roses in jam jars

~tomatoes getting sun
~wonderful, helpful information from the "Kick Out the Lies" Webinar offered by Holley Gerth and Denise Martin last week

"Lift up your face to God and find delight in Him."
~suncatchers
~honest stranger returning my dropped cash envelope to customer service

~celebrating the home team with family. Way to go, Mavs!
