1000 Gifts: A Challenge

Hey, friends!
Thanksgiving is almost here! How crazy is that? I am looking forward to going home and cherishing the time I get to spend with my family! Family is the greatest :) Because Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks and reflecting on everything you are thankful for in this world, I have something that I thought I would share with you. The student speaker at The Remedy yesterday, which is a student-led time of worship at Concordia, talked all about thankfulness. And during her talk, she had mentioned this idea called 1000 Gifts. She is challenging herself to write down 1000 things she is thankful for. These things can be anything and everything you are thankful for and there is no time limit. She is just simply listing 1000 things. 



Give Thanks unto the Lord, for He is good.
After hearing this, God put this idea in my heart and I am now challenging myself to compose a list of 1000 things I am thankful for. I pose this task to you as well! I challenge you to make a list of 1000 things you are most thankful for. Can you do it?! Have a blessed Thanksgiving and always remember to give thanks in all you do!
Love, Sarah Allison
