1000 Gifts, Vol. 2, #58

571. a quiet place and time available to go on a personal retreat
572. sunshine pouring in the windows of my room there
573. a plum tree in bloom just outside my window there
574. a retreat center free of mold, mildew, and stale cigarette smell
575. delicious food! (even the whole fish)
576. those whom God used to minister to me there via the printed page and iPod - Elisabeth Elliot, Sinclair Ferguson, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Joni et al
577. a rolling suitcase - extra valuable as I avoided lifting in order to protect a small wound
578. discovering that my general doctor spent the first 15 years of her career as a surgeon
579. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters, He restoreth my soul.
580. His grace is sufficient.
