I noticed this week that a pattern quickly arose as I counted the gifts. Lots of INGs!
I kept noticing and feeling grateful for things that were happening.
720. friend calling
721. temps rising
722. snow melting
723. birds chirping
724. husband’s mind changing {and I was not guilty of nagging}
725. hand holding
726. sound sleeping
727. daughter dusting
728. son vacuuming
729. parents visiting
730. One Thousand Gifts: reading and finishing
Have you taken the dare to begin countING?
In hope,
Shelli

I love you ING list. I want to get that book, but I haven’t done it yet! I’m sure it’s terrific.
Thanks, Stephani! Yes, it really is a wonderful book. Such rich theology wrapped in Ann’s poetic writing style. It brings brings out the depth of the counting.
Just on chapter 3 in my book. I love watching the clips. Have you been watching?
I have my ing list too….
sometimes I write them on my blog. I have them in a little notebook. Haven’t made it to 1000 yet… around 850. Started mine in 2007 after reading at Ann’s place.
Thank you for always encouraging!
hugs.

Hi, Teena! Yes, I have been watching the clips. It’s so nice to see Ann talk so casually, even though I know she is a bundle of nerves. The counting has been such a gift, but to read the book and see the depth…ah, just stunning. {{hugs}}
