Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, from a bowl of caramel apple pie ice-cream with hot fudge to a text message with that recipe for meat stew that warms up a belly on a cold day.

That goofy horse that, when you kneel down in the pasture, always comes over to warm up your cheek with his curious muzzle.

Sharing a daily devotional with your best friend over 1300 miles away and yet right there beside you.

A place to meet in the middle for coffee and catch-up time with friends who don’t mind driving because you moved away.

Cotton tails hopping and playing on the sides of snow drifts while birds flock around the feeder above them.

The warmth of home and love, grace and forgiveness, and knowing you are never alone.
