And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

One Thousand Gifts


 My sweet friend Rachel has been talking about this book for a while now and for some reason I can't get with it to read this book. So I'm downloading it on my i-pad so I can begin to read it. I have read a few pages of the first chapter and it's wonderful already! I know during this book she talks about a "gift list" (is that right Rachel?), so in the spirit of the "list" I can be so thankful for the following.. Just a few thoughts...

  • An amazing husband who is the love of my life.
  • My precious girls and all there messes to clean. Thankful for the laughter in the mess making.
  • Family and friends
  • I just celebrated 32 years of life Saturday. Every day is a gift because we aren't promised tomorrow.
  • A relationship with a God who is with me and I know I will be with even if tomorrow doesn't come, and most of all loves me when I don't deserve it and is always constant.

So there's my short and to the point list... Guess I'd better get busy reading. I have a Karen Kingsbury book to read too.
