While listening to John Ortberg speak on "The Rest of God" I suddenly began to think of all the great gifts The Father gives to us all. Mr. Ortberg's message filled me with great peace. Listing these gifts from God created the hugest smile on my face and within my heart. I love taking inventory of life! In the end I get to see just how much God truly loves me and believe me I know it is never-ending!
Gifts:
1. Jesus
2. Undeserved grace
3. Unconditional love & mercy
4. Sun rises
5. Sun sets
6. The smell of a newborn baby
7. Peace & Contentment
8. Laughter of children
9. Abilities (our talents)
10. Oceans & Majestic Mountains
11. The Bible
12. Life lessons & Discernment
13. Self love & Satisfaction
14. Music & Art
15. Grateful Hearts
