Good morning…
After last week’s post, Plant Today’s Crumbs, I will lean back and let your crumbs of gratitude fall upon the page. Collecting our crumbs and warming our daily bread in the oven of time, today we will each savor a sacred slice.

Our Crumbs of Gratitude by “Sue To You” subscribers
My crumbs of gratitude – a good night’s rest and cinnamon in my coffee.
Gratitude: Deep, restful sleep. A glass of cold, refreshing, clean water. Quiet solitude of early morning. Feeling better today after a nasty cold. Anticipation of a whole new day to look for little blessings (that my sister calls balms) – the little ones that come as a surprise throughout the day, that you would miss if you weren’t paying attention.
I am so thankful for technology that brings me the Word through writers just like you. Being able to delve into His Word with believers whom I might not ever meet is so reassuring of the width of the kingdom.
The mess of a well-lived in home. The timer on the coffee pot – waking to the smell of coffee. Alexa playing David Nevue on Pandora – heavenly piano tunes for deep thought and prayer. The freedom to pray – in silent or out loud. Funny cards that make me laugh out loud. A good blanket. Friends who don’t require effort and love you no matter what.❤️
This early morning hour (4:00 am), I am grateful to read your post. Inspired by *your* crumbs of gratitude, instead of staying in bed fruitlessly attempting to fall back asleep, I am going to rise, make a delicious cup of coffee, and curl up with a soft blanket and book in my living room and savor a couple of quiet hours of solitude before my sleeping family awakens.
I am thankful for God’s everlasting love for me ❤️
Grateful for your daily words, my cup of coffee….the whirl of the sprinkler, the promise of cooler mornings.
My beautiful crumbs today are being in NYC with my 5 yr old grandson chasing bubbles on the street at 8:30 this morning!!
My morning crumbs include the song of the birds as I walk my dog and the changing sky – pink or bright blue or fluffy clouds
Thankful for so many blessings ❤️
My gratitude crumbs are air conditioning and a pool to cool off in with all this hot weather! Maybe God will give us some rain soon! Loving having your post to read every am. I sit out in my sunroom with my coffee and savor it along with my reading from Jesus Calling. You are yet another gratitude crumb my friend!
I’m grateful for letters with words of encouragement, friends who bring Christ so near, a wonderful family, and God’s reminders that there is a purpose each day—most often revealed by trusting Him in the dark uncertain hours before dawn.
I am thankful that I stumbled upon your summer blog a couple of years ago…now I get to experience your thoughts and musings daily…I received my books…the gift of red bird and seeking with all my heart …they were crumbs for me…challenging ones that are helping me get back on track…now waiting for winter of the heart …divine appointments that God had arranged from the beginning of time for me now…sacred crumbs…wow!!!
I feel grateful for you every morning! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ?
I am grateful for my husband snoring gently next to me, the sun gleaming through the windows, and lunch with my son today.
I’m grateful for a not broken finger, for fast and furious but precious moments with our growing kids that we are trying to slow down and soak in, and for a quiet night with my husband tonight.
I am grateful for you and the time to listen while reading your words of wisdom. I am also grateful for the love Uncle Larry gave us throughout his life as today is his funeral.
I feel thankful for hot coffee in a real mug and not a to go cup. Cool, crisp Fall nights, the sound of the ocean, and the sand beneath my feet. October sunny day with beautiful blue skies, unconditional love that I give and receive from my family, and lastly for my faith in God and eternal life when nothing in the world seems fair or peaceful.
I feel crumbs of gratitude for the way the sunlight turns a golden hue as we approach Autumn and the emotions the changing leaves bring out in me—thankfulness, reverence, and love for our Creator and his work.
While I’m certainly grateful for my family’s and my health, and my family themselves, and friends, and dogs, and my husband’s job, and on and on… the very first thing that came to mind is… I’m grateful for the weekday mornings in my house when my boys get up and go to school without an argument. That seemed silly in the face of all the big things people were grateful for but in my small world, those mornings are HUGE. My two senior boys have come to think of school as something they choose to attend (occasionally) and not something they are required to do. “Senioritis” has set in WAY too early. Anyway, thank you for your living room and for being a vessel thru whom God speaks in so many wonderful ways!
I felt compelled to share my gratitude for your words that welcome each new day and how they help me tread my journey through my life as I watch my mother in law get closer to her death. She is a blessed soul and has lived a good life with an amazing attitude. Life and death are such a mysterious dichotomy aren’t they?

May we each be inspired by the love of our common loaf to plant crumbs of gratitude in our everyday lives. [ Wake Up from Your Sleep ] Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that (Ephesians 5:1-2, MSG).
…Sue…
