30 Things | The List

November is over…rushing in comes December!

I found sticking to a list of things to seek out and show gratitude was a little more challenging than in past years. How about you?

• One thing worth it’s weight in gold: Neighbors taking pity on us for Thanksgiving dinner after Glenn’s surgery.
• One thing lost, then found: I thought I had lost some pictures I took last Christmas, then found them in the most unexpected place. Why did I put them there?
• One thing restful: Doing nothing on a Saturday afternoon.
• One thing that nurtures my soul: Sleeping in! Seriously, all.week.long.
• One thing in Him: He works in great & amazing ways…connecting myself and a like-minded blogger friend, who lives half way around the world.
• One thing orange: It’s more coral, but in the orange family. This scarf.
• One thing received: An anonymous donor to my Small Seed Bibles for South Asia campaign.
• One thing given: Operation Christmas Child boxes filled and delivered.
