Counting One Thousand Gifts this year at the rate of three a day. Today’s are gifts found in giving or serving.
142. I don’t do as much of it as I used to, but I do enjoy cooking the old Hungarian recipes my mother taught me -stuffed cabbage, Sunday Soup, cottage cheese filled crepes. They’re fiddly to make, but my husband and brother love them. A gift in serving special food.
143. Having patience with a toddler and a preschooler (grandkids) when I’m so hot and tired I could cry. The gift of growing in grace under pressure learned while giving and serving.
144. The gift of friends who don’t give up texting and calling me even when I don’t have enough energy to answer. How they serve and give to me.
