Thankful Thursday

I'm currently reading 1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp.  It has been a refreshment to my heart and has prompted me to focus in on the every day gifts that surround me.  In an effort to be more intentional about recognizing those gifts and offering up a prayer of thanksgiving to our Father, I am going to record the week's gift list every Thursday.  Truly, the simple things deserve just as much praise as the big.  My prayer is that God will transform my heart to practice a lifestyle of thanksgiving.

Flowers wet from a summer rain

Freshly washed cloth diapers

A rocking chair still swaying after night time snuggles

Summer toes resting on the porch railing

Fresh flowers given by dear friends

New play buddies

That proud smile after learning a new trick

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;  for His steadfast love endures forever. 
 Psalm 107:1
