10th Anniversary Edition One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp

I began this site on March 11, 2017 with the first blessing recorded in a handwritten journal, inspired by One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp (2010, Zondervan). I wrote, “raindrops on branches of the birch tree December 2012.”

Recently I bought the 10th Anniversary Edition of One Thousand Gifts. I wished to read the “Introduction for the 10th anniversary edition the gift of grace upon grace,” written by Ann Voskamp in late October 2020. And I like the ribbon bookmark. The Page for the book at Ann’s site has a picture of the cover and more information.

I will share more in a future post. Writing haiku is often a record of blessings for me.

more colors of blue

more colors of blue
in Lake Michigan today
than I can name
the wonder of always learning
dreaming new dreams

And could be revised:

more colors of blue
in our great lake
than I can name

always learning
and new dreams
for the new year

HAPPY NEW YEAR from Wisconsin, USA

sometimes it seems

sometimes it seems
the older I grow
the more simple
my poems become

and yet they are
supported by years
all the ways life
challenges and grows

and I am grateful
for every day
and look forward
by God’s grace

Poem from December 2021
