I've been reading Ann Voskamp's book One Thousand Gifts.
It is an amazing book that is really challenging me to live my one life well and to be thankful in and for everything. I've taken her Joy Dare and am writing down at least 3 things a day that I am thankful for. (You can click on the A Holy Experience tab on the right side of my blog to go to her blog and read about it.) Here are some things I wrote over the last several days:
A silly dog that makes my days go faster
Flowers on a coffee table
Left over bridesmaid dress material from my wedding made into a pillow by a special friend
A doll Mamaw gave me
A quilt made by a special lady for our wedding
Curly cues
Sunshine and fresh produce
The sound of a ceiling fan spinning
The cht cht cht of a sprinker
A dog barking in the distance
God is in the details; God is in the moment. God is in all that blurs by in a life - even hurts in life.
Do not distain the small. The whole of the life - even the hard - is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesmials, I miss the whole.
Ephesians 5:20
Give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
