1000 Gifts

I'm joining the Gratitude Community. I want my whole life to be worship and intentionally giving thanks is part of that.

Ann, at Holy Experience, has given us the chance to share our gratitude with the assembly. You might consider joining, as you think through all the ways God shows that He loves us!

I hope to continue my list every Monday, Lord willing!
