1000 Gifts...1000!
O World, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!
- from "God's World", Edna St. Vincent Millay

Yeah! You made it! And, yeah! I get to be the first person to notice. And, yeah! You used orange font in your opening quote which I also do sometimes, and now I KNOW I'm not dorky for doing it! Blessings, rich blessings.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Congrats on making 1000!! Isn't it fun to stop and recognize all the blessings God has give us! I love your burning bush and yes! fellowship with believers is such a blessing! We are reading the Hiding Place right now and WOW! How much we take for granted!
ReplyDeleteoh, the leaves are fun and gorgeous, no? and i love toasters that cook four at once! :) you bless. xo
ReplyDeleteI always love your lists and the photos! Burning Bush is an awesome name.
ReplyDeleteHey, are you going on to 2,000 now? I mean really, why stop?! Let's see how many journals you can fill in your lifetime. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been grateful for your lists and how they've grown me in thankfulness too. We're getting ready to hang our "Thankful tree" at the beginning of November. As we think of things we're thankful for we'll hang a leave with that on the tree. (And idea from a Thanksgiving craft book for kids.)
Congrats on getting to 1000!! Hurray!
