I have enjoyed doing a list of 1,000 graces God gives to me each day.  I have indeed “tasted the sweet nectar” of gratitude and it is changing me.  The past few months have been incredibly difficult with my husband busier than ever.  I believe keeping my mind on these graces have played a part in keeping me from symptoms of depression (which usually are very prevelent when my husband isn’t around much) along with my accountability group, God’s word and lots of prayer.

So the list continues:

111. Getting to sleep in until 10am on Saturday
112. Experiencing community and fellowship with our small group
113.  My accountability group who always prays for me
114.  Strength despite being tired all week
115.  Seeing God work in Ethan’s heart
116.  Answered prayer
117.  Leading a new study at church
118.  Ian being in good spirits and praying for others at bedtime despite having a high fever
119.  Making fun birthday invitations
120.  The way rain makes it feel cooler outside.
