Late Again...

The 'net was acting up yesterday, so I am a day late again in my Gratitude post. 26-50, gathered together and recorded here:
26~ Children's creativity (note the shoe tower)
27~Hot showers
28~ Visiting with grandparents last Monday, introducing them to their latest great grand-child
29~ Hot coffee on cold mornings
30~Morning Quiet Times
31~ Last nights turkey dinner, making a cold, rainy Monday smell and feel like a holiday
32~ Another package of love, this time sent from PA

33~ Sunshine- a rare thing these days

34~ Blueberry Blue eyes, seeking out my own
35~ Downy baby heads to cradle in my hand
36~ Infant Mylecon
37~ Autumn dressing in its finery
38~ An offer of a deer hunting spot to B.

39~ Cast iron
40~ Honey finally grasping and distinguishing her short vowel sounds
41~ Communion on Sunday, favorite worship songs lifted to heaven

42~ Flaxen-haired little girls doing anything for a laugh
43~ Repentant hearts
44~ B. sticking it out in a battle of wills with one of the children
45~ B. gathering the children in his arms and blessing them before bed each night
46~ Dinners in the freezer
47~ Beautiful drives to get to the bulk foods store
48~ Salvation
49~ The promise of a new day
50~Mercies, new every morning

:: I will bless Your Name before all men, and I will sing Your praise again and again::

holy experience

Your pictures are lovely! I especially like the ones of the leaves changing. Where we live, we don't have much of that.
I join you in gratitude for repentant hearts and coffee in the mornings.
May God open your eyes this week to all of the gifts that He has for you.

It is never hard to find things to thank our Lord for; is it? All we need to do is just open our eyes and hearts.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above."

Loved especially #31 (have three after-thanksgiving sale turkeys awaiting such a fate as we speak)

and

#39 . Enough said.

Love, too, mister baby who looks entirely like he is already making REAL smiles?!? (We have a lot of darling fakeouts here....)

and I love the helmet hair post too. It gave me more than a chuckle, but couldn't remember if I said so at the time! :-)

Kara got SO excited when she saw the picture of Beans! All smiles and clapping her hands :) Love the early fall pictures! It's finally starting to cool off a bit here - I'm loving it!
