Counting Thankfully - #1228 - #1244

1228.  The wee one's creativity shining through!  Shortly after dinner, he gets up and moves his chair over to the wall near the light switch.  He stands on the chair and turn off the light as he says in a very dramatic 2 year old voice, "it was a dark, and stormy night..." and then turns the light on and bows. 
1229.  The excitement of the elder boy love's desire to have a real Bible - not just a storybook one.
1230.  Catching up with a friend
1231.  Getting my cell number back!
1232.  Enjoying 5 straight days of not being at work!
1233.  A date day with my husband love to scope out some Christmas presents.
1234.  My sweet caring sister - she's amazing!
1235.  A plain, simple, good, strong, message this am!  Way to go, Pastor David!
1236.  The excitement of my Grandma's trip to FL!
1237.  learning more about Improv (short for improvise) - Use "Yes, And" statements, try not to use your first 3 ideas - go deeper, the ideas get better!
1238.   Football Fever Fun!
1239.  The elder boy's draft call for his Upward team!  Great coach!
1240.  the cool breeze
1241.  the joy of seeing the elder boy love master tree climbing
1242.  The wee one saying, "Mom, I soo love you!"
1243.  effort sometimes means more than the outcome
1244.  Remembering that He is the vine and I am the branch.  It is really about HIM!

loving your gratitude this week my Sister!

our boy love's Bible verse this week is John 15:5... a life verse for me & so I hope that it will be for him too... #1244 is the Sacred echo (:

#1243. effort more than the outcome.
i stopped here. i will enjoy hearing you expound on this one.

yesterday I was talking with our dear Kara in a different line of the same topic. we took a thought & rolled it over & over and ended here:
if there is only one, for all of our efforts; will one be enough? a great deal of effort resulting in a small (quantity) but one of the greatest (quality) outcomes....

#1228 - i love it! wish i could see your sweet boys, share some time with them. please give them each & hug from me!

Praying that your year of living victoriously continues to overflow with His power as He leads you across the dance floor with His amazing strength (that's so beautifully gentle on the dance floor :) - as He leads you victoriously through December and into 2012!
