One Thousand Gifts
We started this book for bible study and i love the challenge it presents: to think of 1,000 gifts or 3 gifts a day. "Not of gifts i want, but of gifts I already have." (Ann Voskamp) So each day I'm going to come up with three gifts or blessings that i'm thankful for until I reach one thousand. I dare you to try it too!
Week 1:
1. Warm sun while I sit at the park watching Connor make new friends.
2. Orange puckered lips of a very thirsty almost one year old.
3. Hazelnut coffee with good friends.
4. Connor telling me: "to just call me when you see a bear and i'll come protect you"
5. Smell of my sons' hairs after bath time.
6. Smell of fresh dill and the colors of the zucchini and lemons mixed together in my red dish.
7. New book of crossword puzzles.
8. Hearing the birds chirping in the morning and knowing Spring is on it's way.
9. Bear hugs from my dad.
10. Sounds of splashing and giggles coming from the bathtub.
11. Chubby cheeks covered in chocolate.
12. Decaf coffee date with extra whip cream with my three year old.
13. Fluffy white clouds brought in by the wind.
14. Long curvy roads that put little boys to sleep.
15. Refreshing taste of my diet cherry sprite.
16. Smells of bacon, onion and garlic coming from my kitchen.
17. Good movies that are wholesome and happy and make you cry.
18. Oreo cheesecake for lunch.
19. Connor asking me to do school.
20. Warmth from my heating blanket on a cold night.
March's Joy dare:
3 gifts at 3pm
21. sweet aroma of banana chocolate chip cookies
22. warm place to be while the wind howls outside.
23. sweet, toothy smiles and chubby cheeks.
