My favorite things

In an earlier post, I said that I would make a list of things that remind me of God's goodness. Here are a few, in no particular order and I'll edit and add more as I think of them.
----------------------------------
1. Ice water..... for it quenches my physical thirst as God's presence quenches my spiritual thirst.
2. Children, especially my grandchildren......in small doses. They remind me that I must have the spirit of youth and a spirit of wonder to enter God's realm.
3. Older children -- young adults really. For they dream of what should be and how this world could become. They have the audacity to believe that dreams can come true. (And I use the word audacity as a compliment.)
4. My work. When I see folks who don't have jobs and want to work, I give a prayer of thanksgiving for my job, even tho it's not always easy. God cares for me enough to give me a means to provide for my physical well-being. I try to do my work to benefit others that God cares for.
5. My home. It's not fancy, but it suits my purposes. Again, this reminds me that God cares for me and protects me.
6. Coffee. I'm not sure how this reminds me of God's goodness, but I sure do like coffee. I probably drink entirely too much of it.
7. Sleep. "And on the seventh day, God rested."

And now, I'll rest also. More later.
