1000 Gifts :Dare To Live Fully Right Where You Are

8Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people ( 1Chronicles 16:8)

I saw another blogger post this book on her site and I decided to check it out. I havent read it yet but I have decided to go ahead and take the authors challenge while Im reading it. Take a look at the book description below I got from amazon:

Just like you, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well. Forget the bucket lists that have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences. 'How,' Ann wondered, 'do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long---and sometimes even dark? How is God even here?' In One Thousand Gifts, Ann invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It's only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted ... a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved --- by God. Let Ann's beautiful, heart-aching stories of the everyday give you a way of seeng that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of being present to God that makes you deeply happy, and a way of living that is finally fully alive. Come live the best dare of all!

So basically the challenge is to journal 1000 things that you are thankful for things that you already possess (not things want) but things that are seemingly ordinary that you probably dont even pay attention to on a daily basis. Things that you dont normally think to stop and thank God for. The little,bitty, teensy tiny things , and the big ones too of course!! Join me as I thank and celebrate all the things that God has blessed me with!!

2. my husband

3. my children

4. my family

5. mexican food!!

6. the gym :)

7. my church

8. the library

I know these things may seem random or insignificant but a lot of these things I enjoy and I am trully thankful for them...lol.

Hope you will join me, cant wait to see what you guys are thankful for.
