Today marks a special moment in my journey of 1000 gifts. This morning I wrote down my 100th gift of thanksgiving. Only 900 more to go! Learning to live eucharisto continues to present challenges...but the rewards are far greater. I am learning the true meaning of grace, thanksgiving, and joy. I am learning to rest and find gratefulness in all of the things that I once overlooked as commonalities.
There were so many things I took for granted before this journey began. I looked at life with a monochrome palate, and an often ungrateful heart. This was not intentional, but without putting a name to all that is, I was completely unaware of the gifts that God has so graciously poured over my family and I.
I am learning to live with expectancy.
I am living with true, unsuppressed joy.
I am learning to love myself.
I am living in moments of grace and thanksgiving.
Even the hard eucharisto is becoming more natural for me as I try to view all that is from the lens of my God. It's amazing how much we learn and how much change can occur in one's heart when we begin to practice looking beyond ourselves and into the heart of God. His goodness is boundless.
