I am midway in reading one of the most profound books I have ever read: One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. God brought this book to me... or me to this book to encourage the regular habit I have of "seeing the beauty", the "seeing God's hand" in the everyday. He also is using it to answer some of those hard, faith wrestling questions. Questions like "Why do bad things happen to faithful Christians?" "If God is in control, why....." "How can God use *this* for His glory?"
I wanted to document my own "giving thanks in everything" and "living fully right where I am" and had determined to begin on Ash Wednesday--the beginning of Lent. But today the thanks for so many simple, yet amazing, beautiful, cherished gifts just came pouring out and so I begin. Eight days early. Too grateful to not.
