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.

Update:

I decided to move the Joy Dare to Wednesdays. I had trouble getting everything posted on Sunday nights. And I have been working hard at not doing work on Sundays. This gives me an evening with my husband too. Please continue to list posts where you are counting the gifts of God.

June 24 ~ a gift in water, in words and in white

      • water: when it is 30 degrees celsius (yes it did get that hot) I need to drink more water and make sure my plants get watered too
      • words: thank You, Lord, for words to write
      • white: beautiful wild white daisies

 June 25 ~ 3 gifts in someone older than you

      • it is funny but there are less people older than I am!
      • hugs from a friend and a time to chat and yes she is a little older than I am
      • help for VIBE (our VBS). A new friend is helping me but I don’t know her age

June 26 ~ 3 gifts in fabric

      • I picked up more pillow cases for a craft for VIBE
      • I am amazed at our blessings with the variety and abundance of clothes we can wear
      • watching Snowball grab a piece of sewing fabric and think she has won a gold medal

June 27 ~ 3 gifts framed by a frame
