1,000 gifts

During my new nightly ritual, reading until I fall asleep, I started a book titled One Thousand Gifts.  In search of something good and easy to read, I pulled it from the shelf and began reading.  My sister could have never known how this book would influence me.

Ann Voscamp, the author, creates a list of daily gifts over the course of a year.  Her list encourages her to grow a heart of thankfulness and gratitude.  Throughout the book, Ann's desires to know what eucharisteo truly means and she desires to live a life displaying eucharisteo.  The book is filled with reflections of how through the Cross of Christ, she has so much to be thankful for.  Ann's list it's the beauty of gratitude. She promotes a life of eucharisteo.

May we live a life of eucharisteo and a life full of thankfulness and gratitude!
Blessings,
Carolyn
