One Thousand Gifts
316. Having tea with a table full of women that I love and admire
317. The roar of the ocean
318. The sound of water rippling over a bed of rocks
319. Those two sounds together
320. The Living Water
321. A quiet room to study in
322. Driving along the Oregon coastline
323. When he told me he admired my persistence
324. Meeting a friend in a parking lot on the way home and chatting for a few minutes
325. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Marilyn
326. The first evening walk of the year
327. The scent of cherry blossoms in the breeze
328. Christian retreat centers
329. The power in His name
330. Prayer warriors

DeleteDear Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour reference to "Oregon", "a parking lot" and "cherry blossoms" begs me to point out that Oregon has the world's most beautiful parking lot! The Willamette Valley Medical Center parking lot in McMinnville is stunning this time of year. Various shrubs and clusters of tulips and pansies stand out in their reds, yellows, and lavendars against patches of neatly trimmed grass. A tall, stately tree radiantly arrayed in white blossoms reigns in splendor head and shoulders above a dozen or so ornamental cherry trees bursting with pink blossoms. Yesterday, as we left that colorful scene, I asked your Dad, "Can you find the bride and her train of bridesmaids dressed in pink satin gowns?" He looked around the landscape quizzically for a moment, then said "Oh!" and smiled in agreement.
~~Love, Mom
That imagery is so vivid I can see it in my mind's eye! Wow! :)
