On the flight out of Manila, I listened to 57-week NY Times bestseller, Ann Voskamp's audiobook, "One Thousand Gifts" where she talks about the lifestyle of intentional thanksgiving in everything--- to look out for and name the gifts God freely gives, not just in the terrific and in the dream future when everything is as we want but in the here and now of imperfections, waiting, and even trials where GRACE and JOY flow. Grace and Joy are free and they are already ours.
I tried Ann's idea. Though I wasn't able to capture every moment nor see all the people I care about, I was enabled to stitch some of the visual images of blessings I counted. Not everyone is on THIS video but I thank everyone who comprise my world. You are on the thanksgiving images in my heart. May you enjoy counting YOUR One Thousand Gifts!
