750.  a dear sister sharing this quote: "Expectations are pre-meditated resentments."
751.  the security of knowing you're loved
752.  the struggle; wrestling with God and knowing that you'll know Him so much more when the wrestling match is done.
753.  surprises
754.  waterproof mascara
755.  the joy in being asked
756.  the joy in serving, especially when you discover that you didn't even know that's what you were doing
757.  hard questions asked in truth and in love
758.  being ok with not knowing the answer
759.  the journey of seeking the answer
760.   flexibility
761.  Jesus Lover of My Soul - and there is no end!!
762.  learning that the most mentioned command in God's word is "Fear not."
763.  Freedom and Truth - http://www.aholyexperience.com/2011/03/what-happy-homemakers-know/

Jesus, Lover of my soul is playing in another window... mmm, He is our Rest. amen.


Good day, my Sister! I am savoring this moment :)

to have experience of : taste
b : to taste or smell with pleasure : relish
c : to delight in : enjoy

Thank you! oh your beautiful list is a reflection of beautiful you! :}

i could no sooner choose a favorite gratitude here than to choose a favorite star in His heavens (typed with Drew Barrymore's accent in Ever After :)

each and every counting a gift over and again to me...

i do have a particular appreciation for this:

the good thing about being sick is that you get to rest

what a terrific counting. J & I were talking last night about pressure from the world to push through the sickness, to 'man up' and 'keep on keeping on'
so often we do not properly take care of ourselves b/c we do not want to take the shaming from others for resting & healing - even when it is what is in our best interest. as so many things in life - - we are shamed & thought less of, jokingly(or not) made fun of, etc. for doing the 'right' thing.

i am thankful that rest is the pathway chosen there :)

be bold, be brave, be you :]
my love and my prayers as the counting continues.

I love your list dear one! And it is OK to not always have the answers.... to be uncertain of what the right answer is. Isn't that the place so many of us find ourselves, at least sometimes?

I read your post on savoring. I tried to leave a comment, but it acted up for some reason. Anyway, I loved it. The list of thanks is indeed transformational, yes? And you can't hardly describe it to someone... it
is something each person has to experience for themself to really believe, I think.
I'm so glad you are counting with us Kim. So, so glad!

Love you,
Kara
