3-2-1 It’s Friday!

THREE THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR:

3. LIFE, my life, my children’s lives and now my three grandchildren’s lives with another on the way.

The equisite detail in creation. The fact that I can interact with creation; I can see, hear, touch, taste.

Jesus, who makes it possible to have a relationship with the Almighty God of the entire universe.

Two Things I Love to Hear

2. A baby’s laughter and cacophony of voices at dinner time. It was a humourous symphony that sounded perfectly in tune and in harmony to my ears with high-pitched baby voices, loud, boisterous little boys, quavering of a male voice changing, deep calming rumbles of Dad’s reactions and my voice asking everyone to be quiet for a moment so we can all hear the toddler’s newest word. The best part of the symphony is the joyful laughter and clapping for each other’s triumphs and achievements be it a new word learned or a scholarship award.

ONE of My Favorite Smells

Congratulations!
