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.
