Giving thanks to God in community for His gifts ...
A Gift in Sky, Water, Memory...
a storm front gusts - howling fear and vulnerability - commanding a trust and fear in the Creator
brimming ponds lapping abundance onto banks
the first tornado we shared as a young married couple ... silent and scared, but secure
A Gift Wrinkled, Smoothed, Unfolded...
that middle of my forehead from all the moments of concentration or contemplation
our bedspread for the start of a day
all my kids clothes that lay in their drawers ... "ain't nobody got time f'dat!"

my grace girl - Ardyn ... the young woman she is becoming
the house ... fix it up like we're selling it ... then buy it again in our hearts
the game of baseball ...mind, body, and soul
A Gift on a Paper, In a Person, In a Picture...
long grocery receipts representing labor and love lavished
my blue-eyed handsome man who loves me well
snuggly nephews in far away places ...
(because any further than an arm's reach is simply too far)
