Joy Dare – March Blessings – Another Day or Two Or Maybe Three


March 3rd – Three gifts worn

  •  Word bracelet – just came in the mail – reminder of the thing I need to remember this year. New, shiny, smooth on my wrist.  Words of life, grace, thanksgiving and joy – Eucharisteo
  • Gold wedding band, smooth and comfortable on my finger – 16 years 
  • Tall boots, my new obsession

Baby Sohpia and Sarah arrived this afternoon at 4:01 and 4:02.  They are precious. Mommy and Daddy and babies are all well!
This evening around that time the sun was a brilliant red colour as it began its descent.  God celebrates the birth of every baby!

March 4th – Three gifts hard to give thanks for

  • First step out of bed, not knowing what the day will be but thanking God for it anyway
  • No answers, yet……waiting on God’s timing – hard wait
  • The desires of your heart birthed in a friends life- tears of joy and heartbreak mingle – He has a plan – Grace for the moment, Grace for the day
  • Thanks for who I am and where I am – bumps, bruises, cracks and all – I am alive, I am unique, I am chosen and used for God – I am me















March 5th – Three gifts found

  • Random penny of provision
  • Newly sharpened pencil
  • Baby love
March 6th – A gift bent, broken and beautiful

  • First thing that came to mind – a beautiful handcrafted pottery mug – deep turquoise in colour, smoothly shaped to fit right into your hands – a wedding gift from a dear friend who I have since lost touch, with, given in love with much joy and laughter (made by her daughter) – the handle of one cup broke after MUCH use…….so in their beauty the pair sit in my china cabinet where I can easily see them – they make me smile, broken, bent BUT yet beautiful

  • Today’s gift from yesterday’s list – life, broken and bent as it is, is beautiful to God – He has a plan and a path and a journey for me and as hard as it is many days, it is beautiful because His presence is in and with me and He allows me to be a glory vessel – blessed! – Blessed by God’s hands that touch and hold and God’s lips that pray, in and through His people – Grace, Thanksgiving, Joy – Eucharisteo
March 7th, 2014
