Catching up is a necessity of life these days – Catching up on house work; Catching up on sleep (is that even possible?); Catching up on connecting with each other.
Life zooms and suddenly . . . well suddenly there is nothing but catching up.
I’ve been able to continue with my gratitude journal through the zooming of the past weeks. Now it is time to share it here – believe it or not I haven’t updated on Gratitude since October 21, – just over two months. Not good!
So it is time to share and share big. But there are too many to share all of them – just a snippet to give you a glimpse at the beauty and grace of God in even the zooming parts of life.
