1000 Gifts

I've been slowly making my way through "1000 Gifts" by Ann Voskamp. She's not the typical type of author I would read, but its still good. Just the thought of being thankful to God for little gifts throughout the day. James says "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." Anything good is from God, so why not thank him for all of the good things he's given. I wanted to do something clever like "Thankful Thursday" or something like that but today is Wednesday, and I haven't blogged in FOREVER, so I figured I better do it now, or I never will!  I've been making a list of some things to be thankful for, so I thought I would share.

1. Shepherd's laugh when his legs get tickled
2. Inara's love for snuggling
3. Building LEGO's with Inara
4. Hearing a "yes" when I ask if she wants to pray
5. The breeze on a warm day
6. Colorful flowers at my parents house
7. Justin smacking my booty
8. The word booty
9. Prayer
10. Being reminded to be child like
11. A free sample inhaler and assessment at the doctor's office- a reminder of God's provision
12. Quiet house- hearing a clock tick
13. Having the windows open
14. YNAB and it's helping us with our budget
15. A warm bed
16. God's provision with our house
17. A dry place to sleep
18. More than enough of everything we have
19. God's mercy with me
20. Technology, and the ability to encourage a friend instantly
21. Inara facing her fears and jumping in the pool.
22. A husband who loves to be a good Dad
