One Thousand Gifts...more like 22...

I love Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts! It's beautifully written and reminds us that thanksgiving is what brings us true joy. She has a challenge online to write 3 gifts a day, or 3 things to be thankful for, and she gives you a theme each day to help. I started it March 11 and I haven't been disciplined enough to do it every day but I am up to 22 gifts. I was recording them in my journal each morning. When we remember what God has done, what we have to be thankful for, how can we doubt him? How can we not be joyful? How can we not trust the one who gave us all of these 26 things (I'm not up to 26!)?? I'm not sure I'll make it to 1000 in a year but I love that I am training my attitude to be one of gratitude!
