Tales from a Mid-Lifer

10 At The End – July – Gratitude

Published by

on

Thankful to live in and celebrate our extraordinary country...

Summer sunrises and sunsets...

Summer Bible study with my daughter…

Spending time on the water…

Consciously thankful for the ordinary, ‘normal days’ I would have labeled boring when I was younger. Now, pain-free, crisis-free, routine days are viewed as true gifts.

Watching my adult children continue playing their individual sports (much more relaxing than the highly competitive years)...

Enjoyable walks…

Short get-aways. Many posted on Wordless Wednesdays...

Rainbows…

Thankful to have kayaked…first time in many years – a few more pics next Wednesday.

August has zero events/travel on the calendar. I’m looking forward to counting simple joys in August.

Thank you for reading!

    Blessings to you and yours for a month of “Sundays.” We could all use some of those.

        My first August Sunday was wonderful. The teen bible study at camp was full of excited teens and one young lady was baptized.

          That is an amazing start to your month! Praise God for the number of teens arriving, and one already baptized! Baptisms always make my eyes fill with joy.

    July seemed to fly by, but it certainly looks like you enjoyed it. 🙂 Can I ask you to keep my family in your prayers?
