Multitudes on Mondays

[bl]O[/bl]n Mondays, I’m going to be joining Ann Voskamp in her commitment to “slow down and taste life, give thanks, and see God.” Ann is the author of One Thousand Gifts and writes everyday at aholyexperience.com.  In her practice of continually giving thanks, she has experienced the presence of God in the every day little and big things of life. And God has multiplied her joy and her experience of this holy life. Ann makes a continual list of the things she is thankful for, and is encouraging others to join her. She is leading people into a life of thankfulness, of fullness in God. A journey I want to be apart of! On Mondays, I will be sharing my list from the previous week.

#1 A husband who is actively involved with parenting

#2 A valentine colored girl

May God instill within me a thankful heart that sees his grace in all things.

And May all your offerings of love today be full of grace and point to Love himself.
