Multitude Monday, Take 212

"Christ's sacrifice is so powerful that even hints and glimmers of it will knock people off their feet. ...in the light of such sacrifice, all else becomes 'Thank you.'" (Lisa Velthouse, Craving Grace)

Thanking God this week for the cross and the millions of smaller gifts it purchased for me, including...

1893. safe travels there and back
1894. home sweet home

1897. Christ's sacrifice
1898. Steve's death to self giving me tangible glimpses of it
1899. new clothes for Steve

Love those country roads laid out like a grid. I was thankful for this exact same thing over the holiday weekend. :)
