“When grief and grace both kindle in us the same flame of gratitude towards God - it’s only then that our love for God ignites in a pure blaze of glory.” Ann Voskamp, from A Holy Experience Blog.
I'm fairly new to Ann's idea of listing out 1000 gifts to be thankful for this year, but what better way keep my focus on Him during this Christmas season, than to start my own list.
Please consider joining me in creating a list of 1000 blessings before the new year starts.
.#1 A warm home
#2 Three healthy children
#3 Twinkling Christmas lights in our living room
#4 Scented candles
#5 Songs that stir my heart
#6 Sisters who live close by
#7 Friends who pray for me
#8 Hot tea
#9 Favorite slippers
#10 Forgiveness
Welcome to counting gifts - I find it so uplifting when I remember all the blessings that God gives me every.single.day! I'm especially liking your #8 as I completely love tea as well. As I visit from Ann's blog thank you for sharing your blessings and keep counting!
