Joy Dare 2013 - Day 20

3 Gifts Only Seen Close Up

This was a strange one and took a lot of thought. Honestly I'm still thinking about it a day later.

1. My fingernails
I have been a nail biter my entire life. I probably started biting my nails as soon as I stopped sucking my thumb. I come by it honestly as my mom does it too. And unfortunately I've also passed the habit on to my middle child.
But....
I've stopped for now. And if you look closely you'll see that I have fingernails.
A gift.
Possibly temporary, but a gift for now.

2. Ty's dimples
Ty has these really cute dimples on his lower back. You can see them if you look closely.

3. Snowflakes
This seems like a cheat, but I've got snow on the mind. The stuff has been coming down all day. Snowflakes really are a gift when they are viewed close up. The delicate details are amazing when you stop to consider.
A gift from our Creator.
