Today is day THIRTY of the Thirty Days of Thanks!
I hope you have joined me in this challenge over the last thirty days and that your days are more joyful, free, and satisfying because of it.
But we’re not done yet!
“. . the practice is intended to be a way of cultivating a habit, of learning to live praise, to make gratitude and joy your default, to move thanksgiving away from a holiday to a lifestyle-–that all the days might be holy and set apart for real joy.”
~Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts Devotional

God changes things daily — God changes me daily — Writing down 1,000 things (on #958 today) for which I am thankful has TRANSFORMED MY LIFE in an amazing, life-giving way. Never ever imagined that this "writing down of gifts" means so much to my Lord. He is pleased!
Just do it!
Thank you, my beautiful daughter, for introducing me to your friend, Ann VosKamp.
Love,
Mom
