1000 gifts...

Many of you may remember me talking about a life changing book called 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp. We are doing a supplemental reading in our Bible Study and this was the chosen book. I had read it over the summer but am so glad to be reading it again for the things that I missed the first time around. Our challenge in this season of Thanksgiving is to recognize our blessing and give Thanksgiving to our Giver for these blessings. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have. Definitely life changing.
