giving thanks

i'm reading one thousand gifts by ann voskamp.
i almost can't find the words to express what my heart is feeling.
the beauty in the pages of her book brings tears to my eyes. the act of giving thanks is been elevated to an intimate act of worship… of communion with the king of kings.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness;
   I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.

psalm 7:17 {niv}
oh, how the Lord has blessed me… in relationship with Him, in relationship with others and with the gift of my wonderful husband and children. {just scratching the surface of the many, many blessings i have received} i am undeserving of such extravagant loving… but i accept it with an overflowing heart of thanksgiving. 
may i never tire of the act of gratitude.
praise God from whom all blessings flow.
praise Him all creatures here below; 
praise Him above ye heavenly hosts;
praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 
oh… how He loves me…
oh… how He loves me…
oh… how He loves… 

join me, won't you? you don't' want to miss this. pick up one thousand gifts. join the discussion here. your  heart will be blessed beyond your wildest dreams.

  3. I'm in love with this book. It's more of a worship experience than a read. I'm completely smitten with Ann Voskamp...if smitten is a word strong enough to describe my awe and admiration of her complete capture of the heart of God for us...
