The Start of a New Journey...

I have recently started reading the book, "One Thousand Gifts" By Ann Voskamp. I have felt very convicted to look for the blessings in my own daily life. Life can be hard but without faith, life is impossible. Without thankfulness, faith is impossible. Have you ever given someone a gift and they don't show any sort of gratitude towards you? How did you feel? Did you feel as if the gift was truly given? How do you think God feels when He has given us the greatest gift of all and we consistently fail to show complete thankfulness? Hmmm... these are the thoughts that got me thinking. Today marks the start of a new beginning for me. My journey will be hard but rewarding. My goal is look for blessings in every circumstance. No matter how hard life gets, I will keep writing my list of blessings. I may not post all of my list on here but I wanted to share my journey with you. The Start of One Thousand Gifts... 1. Air that fills my lungs with refreshing breath 2. Wind on my face 3. The joy found in forgiveness 4. Colorful soap bubbles washing away grim 5. Raindrops sliding down the window 6. Hugs from those I love most 7. Brown packages in the mail 8. Band-aids that help heal 9. Feet to dance with 10. A voice to sing and share my thoughts I will stop there for now... My prayer for each reader today is that you too will begin to find the gifts that God is using to fill your day...
