1000 Gifts

I have been thinking about doing a gratitude journal this year, 365 things that I am thankful for. At first that sounded like a lot but as I sat down the last 4 days to write my gratitude list, I noticed just how many things there were to chose from! I couldn't write just 1 thing down per day! Then I discovered the Joy dare and thought that was exactly what I wanted to do. Recording 1000 gifts God has given me in 2012! That's only 3 things a day and I already know He has blessed me with so much more!
I love her video about the journey she has taken, about how to live fully awake so that we don't miss a single thing!



Her blog is absolutely inspiring. She describes this "dare" as forming a habit, " A habit of not complaining, but the habit of giving thanks; the habit of not worrying, but a habit of worshipping. The habit of repeatedly giving God praise that our lives might become a prayer. Small is always the leverage of large. It’s one moment after the other, the small moments that turn a life. It’s the small actions that can change a life. It’s habits that can imprison you and it’s habits that can free you and when thanks to God becomes a habit, so joy in God becomes your life."

So I encourage you to take a few moments each day to join me in this Joy Dare! God is good, all you have to do is look around you!
