So many of you know that I am currently reading this book with 3 very dear friends, Ann Voskamps book A Thousand Gifts~ A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are.
My, o my... it has already been an amazing read! This book beams with wisdom and digs deep into the heart of women and what we truly struggle with in so many ways, discontent! But, we are to live a life overflowing in gratitude right where we are! After reading chapter 3, I was inspired to start my own 1000 gifts...my heart of gratitude, after all, she highly encourages that dare to be FUllY alive... to live FULL ..FULL of gratitude! So here today, I begin...my 1000 Gifts, my journal of the gifts God has graciously bestowed upon me. (I will post weekly)
