#685. The gradient in the sky at dawn and the silhouettes of the barren trees. It really is serene.

#686. For the capacity humans have been created with to experience pleasure.

#687. Texts from my 18 year old daughter that cause me to know she is thinking of me in the midst of her busy life.

#688. For devotions that just "happen" to speak to the very thing that I have a heart burden for. It is a love note from the Lord straight to my heart. An answer to my plea, "Please, Lord, I need some encouragement....just to know you are there!"

#689. A wonderful time playing tennis with a player I admire who stopped to pray for me. Wow...what a gift that was. A holy moment. There. On. The. Tennis. Court.
