1000 Gifts, Vol. 7, #33

321.  strength for today & bright hope for tomorrow ... even when the days are long and the nights seem short

322.  our niece's National Honor Society's Parents' Night Out coinciding perfectly with the ladies' tea at church, so the children had somewhere safe & fun to go (We haven't been able to use traditional babysitters for 2.5 years)

323.  even though I almost didn't plan on going to the church ladies' tea and didn't realize I had dropped the ball of RSVPing, they had a blank name tag at Table 3, so I sat down ... and then a lady came who sat down next to me

324.  the lady who sat next to me ~ (who almost didn't go either) and how we bonded because her life is very similar to mine in many ways

325.  her text after the evening that she felt so seen by God to have me sit next to her (cue the tears of joy & relief)

326.  the beautiful clear salvation testimony we heard from the speaker, a dear Indian sister

327.  four powerful testimonies I have heard in the past 2-3 months (two from internationals in our church, and two in the beauty parlor seat!)

328.  NO CAVITIES!!! at two pediatric appointments this week

329.  the housecleaner came for the first time since October 25th! (Ai-yai-yai!!  Granted, we have done bits & pieces along the way, but having everything done in one fell swoop is such a gift.)

330.  our tree is up!! (see housecleaning above + mom's night out) ;)
