Happy Things

Whew! It's been a while! It's been a month full of trips and vacations and planning for next year. But I feel excited about what's coming up and am looking forward to my second year at Grace. Summer has been Wonderful (yes, with a captial W) weather and I am soaking it up as much as I can. This has inspired me to make today's post...

Things that make me happy:

• Gorgeous summer days
• Worshipping God in a church community and on my own
• Talking to my mom and dad
• Spending time outside
• Taking walks at night
• Singing great hymns
• Good songs on the radio
• The wild raspberries and blueberries we ate in the Boundary Waters
• Being with good friends
• Praying- especially Lectio Divina style.
• Lake Michigan
• Good coffee!
• Laughing
• Jonah

I could go on.

If you heard my recent sermon on lists, I now realize I left something out. It is good to make lists of our blessings, not just lists of what we need or want or have to do. So I encourage you to make a list of the good things in your life. Share it if you want, by leaving a comment to this message. I'd love to hear what makes you happy. May God bless you with many good things.
