That is my list for this week. St. Patrick's day was great fun. I posted about it on Saturday with pictures of the green food and drink. Counting the gifts that God gives us each day helps us realize his presence among us. These real gifts keep me seeing God in my daily activities. I hope you are encouraged to count too! If you want to join a group of people counting just follow the button below and it will lead you to the group. Have a great week!
Love this! Especially the first three pictures -- kids, a fan, and a happy cat. That about sums it up, doesn't it?! We really do have "enough" (http://wp.me/p1Ut5W-bf), don't we!! Amy
ReplyDeleteYes, it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking "I need more," But God is enough. What we have is enough. Kids, fans and happy cats are enough when we let God be our completer. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteSuch a beautiful list. I love the traditional dress!! Thank you so much for sharing. Prayers from New Orleans
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! It has been fun and helpful to be counting these amazing gifts from God. I also really love seeing the ladies dressed traditionally - so many are wearing western clothes these days. So it is nice to see some just allowing themselves to be their own Turkana selves :). Thanks for coming by and commenting!
DeleteHi, Lynn, thanks for stopping by my blog today. Your ministry is WONDERFUL. As you know, Africa and Kenya are dear to my heart. Bless you for being there and doing your many very important jobs. God is surely smiling.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your green ugali post on St. Patrick's Day!
Linda Thomas
Thanks Linda! The ugali was lots of fun and seeing the boys' faces when they saw it was even better. I wish I could have caught it on camera :).
