I've been reading Ann Voskamp's One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. I'm about halfway through and I think I'm going to need to read the book again once I'm finished because there is so much to digest!
In chapter 3, Ann's dare is revealed. She begins making a list of a thousand gifts, blessings, thanksgivings. This whole idea keeps swirling in my mind. Could I dare to make such a list? What would that look like? It seems daunting. But, I'm going to start my own list of gifts, things to give thanks over. I'm going to use the blogging venue to write it all down. Will I get to one thousand?
1. My husband who works in rain, snow, wind, & sun.
2. A newly ten year old, spirited daughter.
3. An eight year old daughter who is writing hymns.
4. Family & friends to love and encourage.
This is just the beginning, there is much more to come!
