Several friends of ours have been making a list each Monday of things they are thanking God for- and I have decided to join in! So each Monday I will be on my way to making a list of 1000 Gifts I am thankful for. Ann Voskamp started making a list and is now on 2187! Check out her blog! She also has a book- post from Faithful Provisions and on Amazon.
