I like all your “thankfuls.” I have been wanting to read The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment for a while now. Maybe you could do a book review? 
Wow, that is so good. Like sunshine, cool breeze, refreshing good. The ones that popped off the screen for me were 156-158. Me too, amen. I haven’t seen “1,000 Gifts” yet, thats such a neat weekly blog series–definitely perfect for the typical Monday morning.
153, 154, 155 – I’m right there with ya, sister! Hope your Monday is beautiful, messiness and all. 
Aww … weddings ARE lovely. One of my little sisters – the same age as you, I think – is getting married in September. Her wedding is going to be special!
Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment is one of my all-time favorite books! It is an incredible book, and one I am always in the process of re-reading.
