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.
