 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'm so thankful to know you Carla and I'm thankful for your honesty about life and self.

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. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
