Being that today I am celebrating being alive for 25 long years and keeping with my theme from last year's birthday post ("24 Ways I Can Tell I Have Turned 24"), I have decided to yes, make another list for this years quarter of a century birthday celebration.
I have a list that I keep in a little gray notebook. "grace moments" it reads. It is a list of grace. All the ways I see God's grace in the everyday, seemingly ordinary moments. It is always so sweet to look back and see the different ways I saw Jesus in a year. So this year, I am going to share twenty-five of my favorite grace gifts from the past year. 24, you were sweet to me!
1. learning the secret to Spanish pronunciation
2. running in the rain
3. comfy pajama pants
3. three dollar movie nights (with caramel popcorn) in Costa Rica
4. laughing and smiling so much it hurts
5. friends who speak truth
6. sleeping in a sweatshirt
7. giggling with Olga
8. group texts with my parents
9. getting caught in the rain with no umbrella
10. red toenails
11. Instagram filters
12. Oswald (Costa Rican brother) hiding in my closet
13. sunlight spilling onto my bed in the morning
14. tears
15. the sound of my pen as a write
16. early morning sunrises
17. bad Spanish days to remind me I can't do this alone
18. cracks in glass that reflect the sunlight
19. cinnamon in coffee
20. snowflakes on airplane window
21. all of my stuff in one place for the first time in two months
22. Dad's homemade chicken pizza
23. realizing I had forgotten to count grace gifts and seeing how much a difference it made
24. eating sno-cones with high school girls
25. the sound of pouring that first cup of coffee in the morning
The graces keep coming and I hope I never stop seeing them.
Here's to you 25...I have a good feeling ya!
