As I was sitting around the house doing work today I got to thinking about today's gifts. Why is today special? What do I have that others don't have and that I easily could not have? Here's a few things I thought of:
12. a hot water shower
13. crispy olliebollen and the ability to carry on traditions a world away
14. the feel of grass on bare feet
15. laughter of friends
This blog and is year-long experiment inspired by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and Ann Voskamp who discovered the secret to living life at its fullest. The secret? Thankfulness. Time slows and joy increases as we stop to acknowledge the numerous gifts we have and the One that gave them. Ultimately, this blog is inspired by God. I want to intentionally look for God's gifts this year, the inklings, the hints of His grace that are evident in our daily lives. Want to journey with me?
"When I realize that it is not God who is in my debt but I who am in His great debt, then doesn't all become gift?
For He might not have." -Ann Voskamp
