CAN I JOY DARE YOU? Week 19

Can I Joy Dare You? Week 19

Don’t forget to follow me by my RSS Feed; Twitter; Facebook; or Pinterest.

As I continue to count the gifts I feel like I have been on a scavenger hunt seeking new things. A wonderful week searching and looking. Thanks so much to Ann Voskamp for leading this journey.

I have opened a LINKY for one month. If you count the gifts of God I would welcome you to link to this post. I would love to visit each one of your blogs.

May 6 ~ 3 gifts found in Christ

• caring people at Women’s Day Together meeting – prayer – Women of Christ
• caring people at Highlands Pregnancy Care Appreciation Dinner – men and women of Christ
• I read through Acts 18-20: Paul uses reasoning, persuading, and discussions

May 7 ~ 3 gifts about your home

• funny that today was the day for sorting and throwing out. My hubby always says, “Junk expands to fill the space available”. So I am dejunking because we have the gift of space
• a porch where I can sit in the shade and the black flies have not found me yet

• a place to write, to paint, to eat, to sit and sleep and lots of space when family visits

May 8 ~ 3 gifts inside a closet

• storage for art, sewing, paper
• place for my clothes
• finding things inside my closets to gift, recycle, give away or toss out

May 9 ~ 3 gifts found in the dark

• the night sky in the Highlands – expansive, bright stars and the moon
• deep deep sleep – love our dark room and living in the country – no city lights
• shutting my eyes to pray, to focus

May 10 ~ a gift outside, inside and upside down

• outside: walking around and see the blossoms of spring (we are slower up here in the Highlands) and the welcome spring rain

• inside: working inside my newly organized den/art room (thanks to my daughter)

• upside down: I watched a friend paint and she kept turning her painting upside down

May 11 ~ 3 gifts about your parents

• remembering them on their knees beside their bed every night in prayer
• they were always there when needed; nurturing with food, encouragement, fun and faith
• knowing that both Mom and Dad are together again in heaven, dancing as they always loved to do

May 12 ~ 3 gifts held in hand today

• a bar of soap for my morning shower – we take this for granted
• a Hymn book and singing Rejoice the Lord is King
• a Taco for Mother’s Day – one of my favourite dishes (easy, quick and delicious)

Please make sure that you only link if you are counting the gifts of God. I will take down other links. We are trying to connect with those who are writing about the gifts.

Thanks to the following blogs that I link to :
