A thousand steps of praise.
A thousand cathedrals in time.
A thousand moments lived.
A thousand cathedrals in time.
A thousand moments lived.
In this counting of His gifts I have discovered new dimensions in the architecture of the present. It has been the beautiful beginning of a journey - of learning to have grateful eyes. Grateful eyes and a trusting heart not only in the sunbeams of spring but even in the midst of devastation, grief, and loss. To give thanks in all things. . .

Thank you for the reminder that there's A LOT to appreciate in life. So often I take the little things for granted, but really, life is mostly made up of the little things. :)
Congrats to 1000! Love you, and thanks for the inspiration :-)
Love these! They're just flashes, but like lightning on a dark night, they illuminate reality. Thanks.
Beautiful, beautiful words. And beautiful, thoughtful words. Thanks for sharing.
This is inspiring... I need to start writing in my thank you journal again. These thoughts are such a blessing and it is nice to have a small glimpse into your world.
