#201 (of 1000 Gifts)

Messages on tea bags…

something to ponder long while sipping hot fragrant cups of calm

and oh, the delight of an accompanying  gluten free scone.

A delicious find when most baked goods are off limits.

(I used maple syrup instead of sugar and they turned out wonderfully)

A bedroom window cracked, breathing fresh winter air…

the tinkle of a neighbor’s wind chime drifting in on the breeze.

#203

M & M’s…

…my personal favorite being the wiggly, energetic kind

that make me laugh when I am mad.

Thank you,  Grammy, for shirts

boys love so much I can barely sneak them

into the washing machine.

#204

Soft, fuzzy, warm blankets…

especially when I forget to shut the bedroom window I cracked.

(oops)

“About that heat bill, honey…”

The smell of peanut butter granola baking.

first time in three weeks.

Thank You, Jesus.

REAL mail:

two cards from precious friends on the same day…

the very day I needed them most.

That He knows.

“And I say, “Oh, that I had wings of a dove!

I would fly away and be a rest;

yes,  I would wander far away;

I would lodge in the wilderness.

I would hurry to find shelter

from the raging wind and tempest.”

Psalm 55:6-8
