One Thousand Gifts

I've started reading a new book:

One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are.



It's written by Ann Voskamp. She challenges her readers to make a Gift List... not of the gifts we want, but of the gifts we already have... and not just a few, but a thousand!  I'm just beginning to embark on this quest of finding 1,000 God-Given Gifts.  I'm excited to see what sorts of things I come up with that I would normally overlook and pass by without a second thought.  For now, I'm keeping my list in a separate journal, but I'm sure I'll share a few here as I go.  So for example, if you see something such as,

#267~ Disposable diapers

with no other explanation, you'll know what it is.  Can disposable diapers be considered a God-Given Gift?  Hmmm... whether they are or not, I'm sure thankful for them!
