this is my ongoing list of one thousand gifts... and then some. not gifts that i want. gifts that i already have. gifts that God has placed before me, reminding me daily of His unconditional love. i am only almost half way to a thousand, and my life is changed. i count gifts constantly; it has become a way of life.
there is an entire community of bloggers who have caught this attitude of gratitude and join Ann once a week for Multitude Monday. join in, give thanks, love God, and live awakened to His gifts.
