2) Sitting on the porch in the country; enjoying the company of a friend and the beautiful weather.
3) Sitting with ankle propped up. Though I'm not so sure as it is a gift any longer. Though I do enjoy having it go up as it cuts the swelling down so that is the gift.

Day 14~ A gift in a ring, curve, sphere
So these three maybe a bit difficult for me.........but I'm always up for a challenge.
The ring would be the ring of love we surround others with when we are hurting and going through tough times. Those we love always surround us in a ring of love even during happy times. Its that love that sustains us.
The learning curve we always seem to be going into, in the middle of or coming out of. I always seem to be in one.
The sphere is those who I surround myself with that bring smiles to my face and hold me when I'm hurting. Those I look up to and make my world a better place because they are in it.

Day 15~ 3 Gifts Ugly-beautiful
Okay I'm laughing now!!!
My Ugly-beautiful gifts should be interesting.....
1) The two perms I did today. I hate the smell of them...which to me is pretty ugly! Then when finished they are beautiful! The ladies left with huge smiles on their faces. A job well done! I suppose I couldn't count that as two! LOL
2) The braces I had to wear on my ankle and my elbow that help me to feel better and to be able to do my job in less pain. They are very ugly but...in the long run pretty as they help me keep a smile on my face.
3) I think shopping for groceries is pretty ugly. But it is nice to make a beautiful meal.
What are your ugly-beautiful gifts today?

Day 16~ 3 Gifts of family
1) The laughter my children share with me; when they share pictures and stories of the grandchildren even hundreds of miles away. Makes me feel apart of their lives. Thank you sweet girls I love you all so very much.
2) My mom...........Makes me wonder if I will be like her when I am old!
3) Knowing when you pray for your family it does make a difference. The gift of pray is always one to give your family everyday. Glad that I can do that and know the Father hears my prayers and answers them.

Day 21~ A gift straight, curve, turn
Not sure how to do these ones but..........I will give it a whirl as it truly is apart of the Joy dare and I am not not going to do it. So.........here we go~
Straight gift would be anything that is said straight from the heart. It is truly a beautiful gift.
The curve is the amazing smiles that you see on each face through the day and the ones you pass out to all you meet.
The turn is the beautiful day that starts out one way and is turned into a day full of adventure that keeps us on our toes and looking to the Lord as we go through the day!
Almost forgot my August Joy Dare

Day 25~ 3 Gifts fragile
When I first read this last night and again earlier this morning I had different answers each time. Tonight it has changed one again. It is amazing as we go through the day how our responses will change.
1) Life is fragile; it is a gift given everyday. Handle it with care and life fully and love deeply. And never forget to let those you love know.
2) The fire lines that are fought hard to hold on to as each line brings containment.
3) The still quiet that the soul seeks that is easily swayed into a whirl wind of unsteady emotions that can only be stilled my our Father in heaven.

Day 26~ A gift cut, sewn, buttoned

My sewn gift is the beautiful hand sewn quilt that I have on my bed.
The buttons on my sweater that helps keep me warm.
