Gifts 260-280

It seems as though I don't keep up with these very well during the week, but it sure is a delight to think over the last many days and see all the blessings I have been given. When you think of all the little (and big) things as undeserved, the beauty of them is enhanced. James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

I don't know if everyone does these penny presses, but this is my idea
of a perfect souvenir - cheap, interesting, and small ;)
