I found this at http://www.aholyexperience.com/ It's the Gratitude Community. I've signed up. I'm beginning to list my 1000 gifts. As she explains on her blog its not about the gifts we give to others, but the gifts that we are given each day. Since we are all unique our lists will be unique. We give God all the praise.
I've been grumbling lately. Yes I've listed occasionally things/places etc that I've been thankful for. However, this challenge that I'm embarking on will help me to LOOK for things to be thankful for, and then come back here and write them down. All my gifts I see are in thankfulness to the Lord who has given me SO much.
1. My Saviour and Lord-Jesus and the Word of God~the Bible
2. My husband
3. My 'kiddo'
4. My dad who died last fall (he was the best)
5. My pot of violas blooming on the porch
6. My three house plants,
7. The flower my kiddo gave to me earlier this week
8. Our move to a new house that we're in the midst of right now (we're straddling two houses)
9. The rain on the roof as I hear it from the bathroom
10. A washer and dryer
11. My readers/visitors/followers of this blog

looks like a great group and oh so right that even if we have no money to give we can give ourselves, our talents, our ears to listen .....
Such nice blessings.
We are in the middle of moving as well and are also straddling 2 homes. (stressful, isn't it? UGH)
What a great idea for blog posts! Just wonderful and your list is as well :)
Thanks for praying for us this summer! I briefly visited your blog and will look forward to reading more. God bless you!
