one book..one thousand gifts

It all started with this author, Ann Voskamp and her book..

A Dare To Live Fully
                Right Where You Are

I am totally captivated by this book.


From the inside cover~
A beautifully practical guide to living a life of joy, One Thousand Gifts  invites you to wake up to God's everyday blessings.~

  1. Pam, I LOVE this book too, after I bought it I was just blown away by Ann's writing. I have been reading "A Holy Experience" for a good while now and am enjoying it immensely. I started keeping a journal as well,When I post it is on Mondays. You can find my post on my blog, I have a tab for 1000 gifts. Last week I watched a great webcast with Ann and Lysa TerKeurst . It was called "Say Yes to God".

    Enjoy the book and look for ALL things to be grateful for.

    Love and Hugs,
    Cindy

  3. Hi Pam! Hope you had a great birthday! Sounds like a wonderful book. Reminds me of the Homework we did for one Thanksgiving - "Thankful Thirty" I think it was. (((Hugz)))

  4. This book has changed how I look and perceive everything around me! I am learning to see God's gifts in my life and experiencing joy like never before. While I have always been thankful for God's blessings, the naming of these blessings has caused me to see God in the details of my life and to be more grateful. I am overwhelmed by God's goodness and love for me.
