Heart of the Matter is having a contest/link up for the One Thousand Gifts book by Ann Voskamp. Now, it is obvious that I am not throwing in my hat to win a book! :) However, counting my blessings is not a bad thing so I'm going to participate.
REMEMBER: If you go to Heart of the Matter 1000 Gifts Link Up/Giveaway and either leave a comment or join in the linky fun you have the chance to win 1 of 3 of her new books!
And so here's where I begin:
- Jesus loves me anyway...
- My husband who I hope my sons grow up to mirror in character, and my daughter bases her decision on when choosing a husband
- The first day I see my plants coming up out of the ground in the Spring
- The smell of rain and gardenias
- Hot days on the lake
- Coffee in bed
- Heart of the Matter... for so many reasons
- Baking bread
- The day last week that my 9 year old sat in my lap and let me hold him close to me for 15 whole minutes--by his choice
- My 10 year old's beaming smile and laugh... if you could see it... with his whole heart on his face
- My daughter's kind, compassionate heart
- The inner strength of my oldest son
- Lazy days
- Dessert before dinner nights
- Driving around the block a few times before going home so the kids and I can listen to the whole song that just started on the radio that we love
- Quiet moments
- The rare occasions my husband laugh so hard there are tears in his eyes
- Gingersnaps
- Fresh flowers
- Coffee with friends
- Russian nesting dolls...they remind me of my mother
- Crying during Baptisms and Easter
- Watching the kids play board games together...anything all together
- A call from my brother overseas out of the blue
- The way a newborn curls their hands and feet when they stretch
- Blessings that come at the very last minute
- The way the pages of a brand new book smell
