701.  A toddler who is learning to use her words.
700.  A chorus of snores from the hallway of children.
699.  God's work through prayer - not necessarily how He answers them, but that He uses them to prepare me for His Will.
698.  This man's testimony  
697.  The sense of urgency to share Jesus when I really stop to think that this could be my last breath.

693.  The cooperation of 3 awesome kids as we got locked out of our car on one of the hottest days of the year.
692.  Time with great friends, to the point that you don't realize how much time has passed and you don't want them to have to leave.
691.  Desiring to listen for God's voice - because I know He's trying to tell me something.
690.  Vacation Bible School!

685.  The tenacity of my toddler, though  it frustrates me now, I know I'll be grateful she's this way in the future.
