I have been listening to a lot of Mandisa lately. I really love her album, "What if we were real" (I am excited to hopefully be seeing her in concert at the end of June.) This song "These Days" reminds me that I need to appreciate even "in the middle of the crazy, God is so amazing."  This song reminds me that I can "learn to love these days." Sharing the blessings God has bestowed upon me as I take part in the Joy Dare. (For this post, I found so much to share in pictures and music, so I hope you will take/have the time to enjoy them all.) 3 gifts you gave today. 755. Words of encouragement for my son, who wasn't feeling good. 756. A smile for people I came in contact with. 757. Time to be in communion with God; in worship and praise, prayer, and reading His Word. 3 gifts orange 758. Beautiful sunsets                                                            Source: 759.
