Here's my continuing Multitude Monday post, which all started a while back, right here.

"One Thousand Gifts":

262. the glorious sound of melting snow running through the downspouts
263. generous, thoughtful friends
264. a certain cooperative 4-year-old medicine taker {who is usually not at all cooperative when it comes to medicine}
265. sunshine
266. little glimpses of grass {although brown and quite dirty!} from under the snow
267. continued enjoyment of "Bing" by the kiddos
268. fellowship and pizza
269. grace and mercy
270. afternoon naps
271. giving surprises
272. a new month. a fresh start
273. listening, again, to the audio of the teaching that Beth Moore shared when I was in Texas in January -- just as good the 2nd time around
274. a less-frantic week
275. anticipation and excitement
276. successes
277. a perfect geography test hanging on my fridge
278. my dad's time in Ethiopia

280. Bible study week!
281. watching kiddos play in the snow together
282. a wonderful school nurse {and the saint that is willing to do that job! yikes, no thank you!}
283. encouragement
284. not completely losing my temper over something that was just an accident . . .
285. . . .grace, forgiveness and hugs when I do; kids are so extra-wonderful that way!
286. thoughtful, honest, heartfelt conversations

Alrighty, that's it's for now. Tune in next Monday for the next installment, and feel free to join in if you'd like.
