1000 Gifts - spring is officially here!

- the first of spring's flowers, brought to me in grubby hands and offered with such love and enthusiasm
- beauty amid the messy-ness of every day life (notice the dirty dishes)


- days spent outside
- brothers becoming friends
- birds returning
- open windows
- bare feet
- the work of sorting through summer clothes as a reminder of having more than we need
- this song and the truth it reminds me of during this Lent:
Who O Lord could save themselves, their own soul could heal?
Our shame was deeper than the sea, your love is deeper still.

Chorus: You alone can rescue, You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave.
You came down to find us, led us out of death.
To you alone belongs the highest praise

You O Lord have made a way, the great divide you healed.
For when our hearts were far away, your love went further still.
Yes, your love goes further still!

We lift up our eyes, lift up our eyes, you're the giver of life!
We lift up our eyes, lift up our eyes, you're the giver of life!
-Matt Redman
