One Thousand Gifts (part 17)

As the Autumn trees blaze fiery red and orange here in Connecticut, I am filled with awe at the beauty the Lord gives each day. And so I continue to count these blessings--the beauty and grace of the Lord all around me--making my way to One Thousand...


387. party preparations--making the house festive and fun in anticipation of celebrating two birthdays!



388. connecting with an old friend-catching up on life together


389. being reminded of the many blessings in my life-heart swelling with gratitude


390. son's spontaneous art projects-joy of watching creativity blossom


391. making "rain art" together with the kids--turning rainy day into joy!


392. 6-year old son earning his first Cub Scout beads--witnessing his face beaming with ear-to-ear grin


393. the feeling of renewal and energy that comes from exercising


394. birthday celebration: day of fun, good food, family and happy happy kids









395. finding a grasshopper on our car after church-fun of examining it together


396. tiny red heart leaf on walk



397-401. fall walk with family on gorgeous sunny day: waterfalls, animal barn, orange sugar maple ablaze from afternoon sun, gathering leaves to identify and etch


402. finding a wonderful homeschool co-op that's a great fit for the kids


403. evening prayer and cuddle with my 3-year old


404. pumpkin french toast with real maple syrup


405. yellow mums in sunlight




406. still getting ripe garden tomatoes in October!



407. 3-year old's drawing of baby Jesus



408. daughter's sweet tired toddler babbles just before bed

409. bouquet of beautiful roses from husband



410. maple leaf falling slowly, gently fluttering to the ground--a simple moment of pure beauty


...more to come
