“When she accepted the challenge of listing one thousand things she loves,
Ann found that learning to see and name
the beauty and blessings around her led to thankfulness.
Thankfulness led to trust in a loving, faithful Father,
and that trust led to Joy.“
From a review of Ann Voskamp’s book
“One Thousand Gifts”
1. So very thankful for 30 years of marriage to my husband Spence this month
2. Praise God for holding us together through hard trials
3. Thank you for blessing us with art careers that allowed us to stay home
and raise our daughter Bri.4. Simple things, like the chair in the photo. Found it on the side of the road
for the trash pick up. It’s the perfect modeling chair for my home studio.5. Thanks for Spence’s skill in building, the expanded living room and large windows
has created the perfect spot for a portrait studio6. God is my true Comfort

I like our trash find swap. I get the carpet, you get the chair.
Beautiful and so true; thankfulness leads to trust and trust to joy. That chair is amazing!!! I doubt I could get that lucky here in Ptown.
Precious things to be thankful for! God is indeed good to us, isn’t He? I love the chair – we have found wonderful things like that, too. It’s amazing what folks will throw away!
I just love the wedding photo!
