I have contemplated starting this list for quite sometime. I first read about 1000 gifts of thanks HERE. I decided to do this in my mind, but as we all know writing something down and committing publicly to do it helps to make it happen.
This blog started with a hope to See Him and Know Him as I walk through my daily routines of life. Numbering the gifts is an extension of that aim. I don't intend to just journal the thanks. I will also continue writing about struggles and joys, tears and smiles. But, jotting down my thanks will weave in and out of my musings.
So, today I commit to not just remembering and thanking God for boundless, endless, moment by moment gifts in my mind but writing them down as well.
#1 My mom ALWAYS has time to talk to me. At night, she often will answer my phone call from a deep sleep with a cheerful voice trying to hide her recent slumber. Then, she listens and councils, laughs and encourages as long as I need her. She is ALWAYS available when I need her.
#2 A walk and a talk with my best friend and husband.

I agree that having a mother that is there for you at all hours and in all crisis is one of the most important gifts we can each have or give. Thanks for sharing!
This is great Katie...such a good way to gain some perspective on how blessed we are.:)
You have a beautiful blog. Giving thanks is top priority for me, so I understand your need to do this.
Nice To Meet You!
