I looked up your blog and got caught up on your writing. Thank you for encouraging me to read One Thousand Gifts. I just finished it this morning, and the last couple of chapters really impacted me. Especially the chapter that tells of her time in Paris, and she hears the Lord telling her to “Enjoy Me”. I used to enjoy Him!! But the soil of my heart got choked with the cares and worries of this world. I became a Christian on December 7, 1978. Pearl Harbor day, and it surely was an explosion in my life! My family, fiancé all thought I had gone off the deep end. But I was thrilled! Jesus was with me! Sitting next to me in the car! I lost my job! My mom disowned me! I was ok, even better, I was fine! I even laughed. He took care of me. I enjoyed Him! What Ann Voskamp discovered through thankfulness is available to me too. Help me Jesus, to keep the soil of my heart free to see and enjoy Him and all the gifts He’s given over all these 60(!) years. I had to share!
Love to you,
Sharon
