Random Gratitudes

Counted blessings....

daily progress

that Myguy didn't get hurt when some dude ran into him on the interstate.

Time with our kids yesterday afternoon... lots of love. 

4x4ing with the family and the blast I had riding with Trent on his new four wheeler.
-found a turkey feather? with him when we rode through the woods by the slough.  

Protection when a rock slung out from under a lawn mower and hit me hard in the throat.  

Made it to another year older. 
and Myguy  baked me a carrot cake.  :) 

For good  neighbors ..- they came to help when our ponies got loose and
galloped up the road.  

For the someone who reminded me that God has a plan- always. 

That a dear friend woke up from an induced coma and got off 
a respirator.  

For spaghetti and 5 cheese garlic bread.  :) ohmy

That I now have two dressers, a chair, a  night stand, tv stand, our bed and two cabinets ..and a linen closet
 all painted.  ( photos tomorrow)

The pretty picture Blakelea colored for me.
and the "guacamole" nut she gave me for my birthday. lol 
(she meant avocado)

Her squeal.... "Grammy!"  climbing from her carseat. 
Be still my heart

The memories I found cleaning out my cedar chest.  Baby teeth, hair, report cards,
artwork, photos, birthday cards, ... reading  Mama's handwriting and still  hearing 
her voice in my heart.  

a mcdonald's ice cream cone... wonky scrumptious. 
Date night.  His love after all these years.   

Interlaced fingers ....  

2 nut goodies my sweet mother in law sent ...  all the way from South Dakota.
She remembered they were a childhood treat and we can't get them here.  

-Eating one for breakfast.  

a homemade journal from across the pond.... 
sweet friendship... and adopted sissies. 
the broken shell dust 

a city mouse. 

a 9 year old message in my facebook memories from my 
mentor Cora who lives in heaven.  It said, "I'm really missing you girl! Where have you been?"
- (I miss you more dear Cora)

The big and fierce, spotted fawn that stomped his feet:  one then the other, one then the other, one then the other...  at our cat Bash. haha

ibuprofen

watched a  decent movie: The Greatest Showman 
and texting with Trent because he wanted us to see it so bad.  
-the songs from the  movie and discovering the actress who played Jenny Lind 
was from my all time favorite movie... The Red Tent. 

New Books... and finding time to read
everyday. 

airconditioning

candles lit up

autumn clematis 
and their sweet scent...
so many blessings.

Thank you God for all these things and so much more
Thank you for my every thing.

Lea, Sooooo many wonderful blessings and thank you Lord for your protection!!

I have an amazing coincidence to tell....At the weekend I bought a copy of Breathe magazine, in it there was an article called "Dip into Past Times" and they had a list of books to read. One of the books was called "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant, describing it as a re-telling of the Old Testament story of Dinah. I had never heard of it so I looked it up. I am reading your blog today and you mention a movie called The Red Tent. Wow!!!!

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Jeanie... yes I'm so grateful for His hand of protection... I just cringe when I think of Mike getting hit on the busy highway. Did 3,000 worth of damage to his truck. And then he was mowing and a rock flew out and hit me in the throat. omg. I learned a valuable lesson! My throats still sore when I touch it. -- So are you going to get the red tent? Oh girl... it's really good and the movie is so beautiful... it's one I could watch over and over.
Let me know if you get it and what you think!!!
