some of God's gushing goodness

  • time with the faircloths.  love that it's easy and real and easy.
  • pizza box postcards (now to see if they make it to their destinations)
  • knowing eli is in an incredible environment at impact 360 for learning and discussions and fellowship and friendship
  • "startle the world with glimpses of divine kindness." - dane ortlund
  • all the giggles and grins that can only come from girls playing in a cabinet
  • "God loves to just gush forth with His goodness." - dallas willard, life without lack
  • a friend willing to let me know that something i did (or in this case, didn't do/say) stung.  true friendship requires honesty...and i'm grateful for the true friendship.  
  • cup from benin, plate from bulgaria, coffee from costa rica, cake from a friend...just the right breakfast
  • april's thoughtfulness with the book and flowers and trader joe's goodness
  • nick's kindness and intentionality to make it possible for me to get away for a couple of days (and the fact that the house was cleaner when i came back than when i left.  he's so wonderful and capable!!)
  • TIME at Ancient Way Farm
  • the gifts God gave me through the weather - including the power going out and the perfect overcast Tuesday
  • long nap
  • delicious food at a delightful table
  • plenty of time to read and run and write 
  • the way things all tie together - sermons, books, readings, conversations
  • Psalm 27
  • so much Truth in God's word.  it's living and active.  always more.  

  • church on thursday night.  breaking bread and sharing life and praying together is such a gift.  
  • coffee and biscotti and friendship on benson drive
  • seeing/hearing emma and caroline enjoying one another
