Gratitude Journal
...on the counter, by the coffee, so it cannot be missed.
Thirteen months ago I read One Thousand Gifts. It shifted my heart and my head - and now Ann Voskamp's hauntingly, beautiful book is in the form of a Bible study.
In Vava-terms, you cannot have joy without thanksgiving. That's the bottom line of the book. BUT! Don't just take my word for it. Read it. Now. If you have not.
Today:
1. For the beauty in an ugly barrack of #2 Son's graduation.
2. Uncle Steve's kindly demeanor toward his nephew.
3. Anticipation of movie night with My Guy.
4. A good hair day and a pretty necklace.
5. #1 Son's surprise visit.
6. Count down until November 6 (NOT the election; but the homecoming of #2 Son).
See? My list is certainly not profound. I passionately believe if we open our eyes and thank God for our everything(s), joy takes over. Sometimes it's calm and quiet, sometimes a tidal wave. I'll take either!
