One Thousand Gifts


Ann V. at Holy Experience (my new favortie blog) is encouraging us all to keep a list of one thousand gifts. Not a list of one thousand gifts we want, but of one thousand gifts we already have (thanks for this wording, Ann!). One thousand everyday ways that God has blessed us. And so, I begin today with ten. Ten ordinary, extrodinary things I've been blessed with.
10. The beautiful wooden candlesticks on my kitchen table, made by my brother-in-law.
9. The way Aidan carries his blankie around-- just like Linus from Charlie Brown.
8. Those little cinnamon and sugar frosted donuts.
7. Late night snuggles.
6. Brendan's "man feet"-- because he is not a bear and, therefore cannot have "bare feet".
5. Neighbors who are always there to help, listen and play with.
4. Boys wrestling with their daddy.
3. Aidan's ever expanding vocabulary of car noises.
2. A husband with a tender heart.
1. A boy who snuggles into my lap and tells me he needs some "Mommy loving".
