One Thousand Gifts

Have you read it yet? You need to. I'm planning to write a review... one of these days. When I get to it.

1. Frost tipped leaves coating the lawn.
2. A ridiculously large container of Feta cheese.
3. A little baby lisping "Mama".
4. A bite of cream cheese frosting, savored.
5. Swells of music echoing in the empty concert hall.
6. Stars piercing a frosty Christmas night.
7. Sliding under warm covers on a cold night.
8. Droopy eyes and sleepy voices calling out "I love you mommy."
9. Christmas lights in a dark room.
10. A great call to do something more, to clamor on to the great movement of God, to cling to the motion of grace and compassion and CHANGE.
