Gift & Graces Spring 2022 Edition

One practice I use to keep me oriented to the features of the landscape of my life is to list the season’s gifts and graces. It’s a simple way to fix my eyes on the good so I can do my part to foster a hopeful perspective and healthy mindset. The list is intended to speak for itself so, aside from letting you know one little thing, here’s the list. (And here’s the thing: If you’d like to record your life’s gifts and graces, I’ve made a simple, no-strings-attached printable just for you. It’ll tuck into a journal, a planner, or even your Bible. Access it here–no strings attached. Find it here.)
