1/7/11 It's Friday.

I woke up this morning in a deep state of meditation. Outside the snow was falling softly. I felt that nature was echoing my quiet state. Braco gave me a gift and I am loving and appreciating it.

In some ways, appreciation is the best good deed. It takes a still photo of God's amazing gifts. We can up it up on the wall of our hearts.

Then Luke and I did more house cleaning and organizing. It was like a dream come true. People can paint your walls and built shelves but they can't put your house together the way you love it. In the past, I told Luke that we needed to do this together. He didn't make the time. Now for the first time in a long time, we worked on our house together. We're seeing beautiful things happening. Thank you, Braco for this gift as well.

Another gift from Braco, for the past 10 years, I've done things from a seated position. Today I stood up to organize and clean. What a gift. I didn't get tired until evening.

Emme called me to share an amazing blessing in her life. She told me that it was the best present she could imagine getting. She worked for this and she deserved it. I felt so grateful.

Then MKate called to find out if she could pick up a few things for us from Costco. She's such a giving person. I've been missing celery and here it walked in the door along with asparagus and clementines.

Then, more blessings. We have had two giant tubs of stuff in our dining room. They were formerly in our basement. Rain and Ry brought them up ages ago so we could donate the contents. I kept thinking that I'd have to go through things and then bring them to a donation center. Luke and I added more things to donate. We had a ton of stuff in our dining room. MKate has been helping a very poor pastor and family. They don't have enough to feed and clothe their kids and their congregation is also poor. When MKate saw Rain and Ry's wonderful tubs of good stuff, she was willing to haul it to her car and pass it on. We didn't have to haul it ourselves. The dining room is almost free of stuff. Good deeds everywhere. Blessings raining down.
