awww I love this gratitude! I especially like the picture of Chino sleeping and the one of Jay and me laughing is great. I also really like that skywatch picture!!! fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amanda! Wasn't it a great evening!?!
ReplyDeleteThe sky watch picture was taken by Jo Hedges from her home at Camp Base Vie, in Guinea, West Africa!
Mr. Darcy and Chino are quite a duo! You should write a book about them!
I love the picture of your adult children enjoying one another. I agree: that is one of the deepest joys of my life. Thanks for reminding me. Abundant blessings, Dianne
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment over at my page, it is a joy to start the week with gratitude and to read what others are grateful for as well.

ReplyDeleteYou brought a huge smile to me this morning! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
Such pure joy to see the laughter on their faces, isn’t it? Nothing melts my heart more than to see my two laughing, giggling uncontrollably together! I love the pictures you’ve posted. They’re beautiful. God’s grand creation, what a delight!
ReplyDeleteMy children do not like each other very much. At least they fight a lot with each other and rarely play together. I pray that they will grow up to be friends as your kids are.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful list! I especially loved the first one about your kids loving to be together. I pray the same for mine when they grow up!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cory =)
What a joy it must be to see the relationship that has flourished and blossomed between your children... truly a precious gift! And as a dog lover myself, I "ditto" your comments there-- furry little people are certainly wonderful gifts, too!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day~
awww love this list.
ReplyDeleteyour children are beautiful. mine are so young and yet i am already feeling the joy of seeing their love for each other. i'm sure that will only intensify as they grow older.
shalom to you sweet friend! your blog is such a bright spot. xo
My grandfather used to grow rhubarb. Here on the Gulf Coast we don't have it. I have to say I'm a little jealous of that cake. It looks delicious!
