1,000 in 2012 . . . What is this?

September 16, 2011, I began reading,
"One Thousand Gifts:
A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are"

by Ann Voskamp

". . . how to intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude . . .to slow down and catch God in the moment"


From the inside flap of the book . . .

"Like most readers, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well. Forget the bucket lists about once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

How, Voskamp wondered, do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties?

What does a life of gratitude look like when your days are gritty, long, and sometimes even dark?

What is God providing here and now?

. . . a beautiful, practical guide to living a life of joy . . . invites you to wake up to God's everyday blessings.

Along the way, you will discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to gratitude . . . a way of becoming present to God's presence that brings deep and lasting happiness."


(Emphasis added)


I am challenged!
