The list

God has used her book to change my life.  How giving thanks, finding joy, and discovering grace could change a life.  I read her words in a ferocious manner.  I couldn't get it fast enough...teach me this wonderful grace.  How could I learn to see?  To really see.  These grace moments every day, every hour, every minute.  God's love sitting right there in front of me.  Could He possibly have time for me?  Want to woo me to Himself?  All in an ordinary day.  Here in this ordinary house, on these wooded acres, in the middle of the midwest.  Could He?  Yes.  And He did.  And He still does.

My list began on April 25, 2011.

The challenge to list a thousand gifts from His hand to mine, I continue today and every day, "A dare to live fully right where you are."  --Ann Voskamp
