I have joined The Gratitude Community -- a place to be inspired by others and what God is doing in their lives, a chance to share my own journey of gratitude, and an opportunity to REMEMBER to be grateful in ALL things. So every Monday, I will add to my list of 1000 gifts of all the graces God has provided in my life. Would you consider joining me? Even if you don't blog, you can join the gratitude community by starting a gratitude journal, mentionning your gifts on Facebook, or sending e-mails to your friends. Let's work together to help in creating a more thankful, joyous world.

What a beautiful list! I loved your last one because it reminds me to be thankful for people no matter what role they play in my life.
God is good :)
Hey, I noticed that your button is missing too... mine is and the one on the Holy Experience blog is as well... I wonder if the server that hosts the image is down... I don't want to both Ann by asking since, well, she is on a plane to Guatemala anyhow!!
I'm sure it'll be back sooner or later :P
Giving thanks with you for many great things! Like you, I love fresh cut flowers and am thankful for those people in and out of our lives . . . Many more blessings to you!
What is it about the smell of varnished wood?? It's lovely. . .
I'm so glad you visited my blog, so I could stumble onto yours! :)
"Learning to lay down the idols in my life" -this just spoke miles to my heart.
Thank you.
