As I continue to count the gifts I feel like I have been on a scavenger hunt seeking new things. Thanks so much to Ann Voskamp for leading this journey.
I had a wonderful Sabbath rest this past week. Energy abounded during my VBS – thank You, Lord.
So here goes for the past 2 weeks – gifts of:

July 4 ~ red, white, blue
- red: I wore red on Canada Day on July 1
- white: I wore a white sweater on Canada Dayy
- blue: a clear blue sky
