Five Minute Friday: we write for five minutes flat, without worrying or editing. Just letting our words be.
Today's word is gift.
I eat cocoa puffs out of a cup. I pour milk in a little at a time so it won't spill out. I had breakfast already with a friend, this is my extra gift. It's friday, so that means I have a gift of a weekend, a few nights to do what I want, a morning to sleep later than 8. I have a friend who read the 1000 gifts book and started a facebook group for us to share our gratefulness. I've been thinking about gifts a lot lately, and all the ways God has blessed me, freely, delightfully. Like cocoa puffs, and friends who wave at me when I see them on the street, and beautiful music that makes my heart happy, and this cloudy day. I love cloudy days, but the sunrise was beautiful and gold too. And hot showers and surprises, even just walking off the side of the sidewalk. :) gifts gifts gifts. so many gifts. giddy. The colder temperatures, encouragement, humming, being alone for a bit before my busy day. this blog. these people around me. mmm it's the thirtieth.
Great post. Love how you are thankful for even the little things like cocoa puffs!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love all the gifts you are thankful for, ones that are so easily taken for grantid.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Our lives overflow with gifts. We keep a family gratitude journal that we add to at the dinner table. I love reading through our entries which include things like ranch dressing, sinus medication, sweet memories, unexpected encouragement, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, everyone :) I loved this prompt. It's always nice to sit down and really think about all the great little things.
