One Thousand Gifts (Continued)

"Jesus said, 'Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom'" (Luke 12:32).



I am so thankful that my heavenly Father is able to cast away all my fears and doubts. What a loving God I have.



Continuing to give thanks...

I came over from Ann's today. I loved your picture of the Amish buggy and "the simpler life." Have you read the book AMISH PEACE? It is amazing! I love the simple too. Blessings to you today.

Joining you from Multitudes on Mondays. I love "Daddys holding daughter's hands" also. Thanks for sharing your gratitudes and sweet photos.

Ah! Peonies...mine are in full bloom and it's the moment I wait for each season as I treat them so kindly with water and compost and gentle words of encouragement. Aren't they lovely.
You know what else is lovely? You and your ever encouraging faithful prayer.
Yep, it's true.
I never leave without some sort of encouragement or smile when I visit this little space of yours.
Thank you.
