Gratitude


 Sunflowers off the deck


New vase for Flowers



Potatoes out of the garden



Wednesday evening around a camp fire with missionary from Brazil who teaches Gods truth to those who will hear. What an amazing evening around that fire that evening. The Holy Spirit is powerful!



Plums ready to pick off the trees in the back yard



Eating {healthy} dinner on the back deck



Camp lights



Fresh picked flowers in the kitchen



Blackberry pies...



right out of the oven.



Late night {summer} fires in the fire pit


Candle light on the back deck



Gratitude is one of those words no one disagrees with, as in "Of course we should be thankful. Pass the bread, please."


So thankful for:

Brave brothers and sisters, in the Lord,  sharing Gods "truth"  in our country and around the world
Friends who are friends
daughter home from school
Hot bread out of the oven {smells amazingly good}
friends over for dinner
a friend who brings over flowers for my back deck {precious}
A mom and dad who taught us truth and to stand up for it no matter how unpopular it becomes
a heart to change and a mind to grow in God
A husband who lives truth in his life and shows love for his family {we here are blessed by him}
lunch with friends
coffee group
answered prayers {over and over again} i am in awe
Gods word put to memory
church group meeting in homes this summer {we continue to be so blessed} 
friends at work who reach out for friendships, lunch, laughter and new bonds being made
God's continued guidance...in ministry here on earth
dinner on the water front and feeding the ducks
Thankful for a Fall morning bible study coming up
a friend who shows up in the morning and stays until after dinner {Blessed}
no more children in school {so thankful!}
Re reading the book, "Radical, and Crazy Love."
candles in jars hanging on branches in the back yard 
The very thought of the Holy Spirit making His rounds here on earth seeking the bride for Christ, as he gently asks, "will you come?" Will you? 
wedding of a freind
calmness and still time
long talks in the warm summer evenings with my husband

Thankful for worship
prayer
Heavenly Father
Holy Spirit and Son of God
Holy word

Christine,
It looks like you are enjoying all the wonderful things that summer has to offer. Can I have a piece of that pie now, it looks amazing?
