One Thousand Gifts - Monday

Give thanks…embrace joy!

This morning, I finished reading One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp

I have not found a better book to answer the demanding questions, we all ask ourselves, as we witness pain and suffering all around and in our own lives.

Ann fervently challenges us to live a life of gratitude. To embrace all great and marvelous gifts God lovingly offers in small breathtaking moments…everyday. 

This year, I gladly accept her challenge to write down one thousand gifts.

To learn more or follow along with her and hundreds more, please visit: www.aholyexperience.com and www.onethousandgifts.com.

3 gifts each day = 1000 gifts in one year

Today…

1. Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts

2. Toys strewn throughout the house.

3. Kari Jobe's inspirational music.

4. Children's footsteps. 

5. A 3-day weekend...an extra day at home with the E-TEAM

6. The freedom to read my Bible. 

7. The furry terrier who keeps my feet warm.

  1. Hi and thanks for visiting my blog. A great start you have on your list of graces as you count towards 1000! Ann's book has been the most life changing thing I've read (with the exception of the Bible, of course). :) You will be amazed at the difference this practice will make in your life!
