Lately, I've been inspired to start a new list....This one is more than a list though...I know it's going to become the Sweetest blessing ever to my heart and my life....It's the list....everyone should have...
My List of One Thousand Gifts
1. Starting the day with Jesus in my heart!
2. Waking up next to my husband.
3. The early morning warmth of our home as the sound of rain falls on our metal roof.
4. Sisters in Christ - who inspire me and encourage me to take this journey of gratitude :)
5. Wonderful sweet, 3 year olds that simply Love Jesus and the sound of their uncontrollable, freeing laughter.
It's just the beginning this new list of mine....and it's all inspired by a book called "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Vonskamp! And, a challenge by sweet friends to do just that....journal things I am thankful for every single day in the goal to reach 1000 gifts!!!
I'm on gift # 73 & counting.....
And, the more I look, the more I see...all the amazing gifts God gives me every. single. day to be Thankful for.....
"You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever."
Psalm 118: 28-29
So...there it is...my new list....
And, it's one I can hardly wait to fill out each day
So....what about you...want to join me in counting to 1000??? All you have to do is grab you paper and pen and you are ready for the most exciting journey into gratitude ever! Hope you do it...and along the way find many, many Sweet blessings!
