This list IS a feast. Your witness is powerful.thank you.
I love that you get me. Even though our long distance friendship means we don't get to see each other face to face, we too experience "enough is as good as a feast" with our meaty phone calls. Thank you for having a teachable spirit and a thankful heart. You are such an example and encouragement to me!
Lovely list! Friends in the trenches with you... a given beyond measure.
Blessings!

I love this. "forgiveness given" and "forgiveness" ..we SO need them both! Amen!
Great list. I have just decided to homeschool my son. Even though I am a teacher I have no idea what I am doing! Congratulations on hearing the difficult!
A beautiful sacrifice of praise. I know it pleases the Lord. These verses from Lamentations 3 comfort me often. I pray they do the same for you, "Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.' The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD." May God bless you, sister.
Giving thanks with you for girlfriends, forgiveness and years replenished!
I hope you got to hug that sister...

Really enjoyed this post. I claim that little scripture myself.
