One Thousand Gifts


Hello bloggers,

Currently, I'm reading a spiritual and thought provoking book entitled One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. In this book Ann Voskamp challenges herself and her readers to list the many blessings in our lives. By discovering and unwrapping our daily blessings, we can find more joy and appreciation for all the things God gives us. I'm going to share some of my list every Sunday on this blog:


God's everlasting love and mercy

His forgiveness

The friendship of others

The kindness of strangers

Small talk at the bus stop

The breath in my body

My strong, beating heart

Lessons in everyday challenges

Literature

Tis a beautiful thing
Your pages ruffling at me
The new smell of books
Wafting in my nose
And I sink
Melting on syllables and verse
Daydreaming in black ink
Inviting colors
Canary yellow
Or brick red
Sitting on my bed
I am wed to you
Bound to hardcover
To the last page
You are jealous
Of books on shelves
But I am a lover of literature
