![]() One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp is a best selling book. Many, MANY have read it and been changed by its message. I have resisted. I have resisted because I am prone to resistance. I am known to resist the new and the popular at times. Why? Who knows. Chalk it up to whatever makes most sense to you and call it a day. What matters is that whatever wall I had built up around this book and whatever reasons I had that were keeping me from receiving its message are now gone. Today, Ann released on her blog the first 20 minute video that will be a part of a DVD set that will be available to help small groups process One Thousand Gifts together. I watched it. I now "get it." I had to let Ann know. Go to Ann's blog to watch the video. It is moving and poignant and refreshing. I'm looking forward to seeking out the 1,000+ gifts that God has given and continues to give in my life and naming them.

I don't do things other people do (case in point, I've never seen Titanic, gasp!), although I did read this book. Well, I started it anyway.

You should finish it Monica..At first I thought it wasn't my style and I had a hard time staying with it but as I read on it really helped my thinking. Great read especially for this time of year as we approach Thanksgiving and helping families look for those 1000 gifts.
