Thankfulness. There’s something beautiful and healing about being thankful, and not just with the big ticket things. But with deeply personal, gentle surprises and delights that you know Jesus planned just for you…

*the way the breeze brushes your skin
*the coziness of a coffee shop on a blustery day
*the whisper of His voice through a splashing stream
*the gentle purr of a fluffy white cat sleeping across your shoulders
*the peace that falls on you as you sit in the Redwoods
*the quiet beauty of a summer night stargazing…

When I recognize that these little things are hand picked by Jesus to bring me joy, smiles, and contentment it makes them all the more precious and special…just for me simply because He loves me. He loves you, too.
