Thankful Thursday: 3 Gifts of Change

3 Gifts of Change:

1. I know they look cool and are fun to look at, but I must say, I am very thankful for the change in our transportation.

2.  It really wasn’t that long ago, and we were watching movies by using one of these! A change in the entertainment industry that we are probably all thankful for!

3. And this, well, it’s just a personal favorite. I’m thankful for the change from dusk to dawn.

Gratitude doesn’t change the scenery.  It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colors.

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You

This bracelet is a represents “The Hue of Me” on a few different levels.
One…because I love bracelets, and I rarely go a day without wearing one. (This one in particular reminds me of my daughter because it was a gift from her!)

Two, because I love all the colors, and I usually have a hard time deciding on one…but quite often I lean toward the blues and the purples.

A sparkly collection of “The Hue of Me…or You“!

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.
