Writing Heart Filled Moments

Just the Beginning of Overflowing Gratitude

multitudesonmondaysbutton2-1

      The Alaska Journey continues with just a tip of the gratitude iceberg that goes deep into my soul. Just a list and photos today.

     Thank you, Lord, for
     621) praying friends who hold you tight through storms and rejoice with you when you dance
     622) thoughtful friends who surprise you with an anniversary cake on your cruise and share in your joy
     623) kind and generous friends who share their homes, their hearts, their struggles, their faith–all to encourage you along the journey
     624) giving friends who allow you to share a majestic Alaskan cruise with them

     625) sons who text “Happy Anniversary” wishes
     626) a sweet chocolate surprise from hubby to say, “I love you,” as we stepped into our cabin on the ship
     627) the opportunity of adventure in discovering more of Your magnificent creations and sharing them with Christian friends

     628) the gracious love of a caring husband who covers and supports me with the love of Christ
     629) the laughter, fun, peace, and joy You so graciously supply as you part the storm clouds for now

  “Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. 
     Glorious and majestic are his deeds and his righteousness endures forever.
     He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.” Psalm   111:2-4 NIV

     May your week be filled with His majesty and secret surprises.

From My Heart to Yours,
