One Thousand Gifts

I can't say enough about this book. One Thousand Gifts has been life changing for me. The author, Ann Voskamp, has a beautiful way with words, mixing poetry and prose. She wrote the book after a friend challenged her to write down 1000 gifts in her life. She reveals many things off her list, but it is far more than that. She encourages you to "live fully right where you are".
I have begun my own list of things I am thankful for and already it has made me look differently at hard situations and everyday life. God is shaping my attitude to be one that is much more gracious.
I highly encourage you to read this book, if you haven't already, and to start your own list of things you are grateful for.
