I was listening to a John Piper sermon entitled "Sustained by All His Grace" and this quote really stood out to me. "The function of gratitude is to worship the Lord for yesterday's grace and in that worship to have our faith in tomorrow's grace strengthened." And that is so why I catalog my gifts. I find my faith strengthened as I read through my gifts. I know that His mercies are new every morning. And cataloging these gifts opens my eyes to Him and His work all around me.
171. God's grace
172. Adorable little baby clothes and toys from my students
173. Softy, fuzzy blankets
174. Pale yellow colors
175. Peanut butter cups
176. The crunch of green, green celery as I slice it up for salad
177. Sermons online to listen to as I rest and as I work
178. Strength to get work done around the apartment
179. Encouraging Christian women
180. Coupons and blogs to help me save us money
181. Family stopping in to visit
182. My husband making me dinner when I'm too sick to cook
