Thanksgiving…
the birth of baby granddaughter…
the visit of youngest daughter…
the visit of second born daughter…
Christmas parties and preparations…
a wedding…
the happy mountaintops
another delay in the church building project…
a bank account hacked into…
a crunched car bumper…
tension…
stress…
the valley times
and in between, the sweet everyday ordinary moments
and all of it
Grace…
Great Grace.
*******************
I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my little green journal…

What a sweet little baby ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to meet you! Visiting from A Holy Experience. I adore the photos of the newborn grandbaby, especially the photo of the tiny hand in the woman's hand. I've loved each of my baby's hands and love to see them grow larger and look larger in my own. Thank you for sharing the precious images.
