Last November I started making a list of 1,000 gifts that is hosted by Ann Voskamp. I started my list but never finished and stopped blogging about them in April. Even though I stopped blogging I never stopped looking for the blessings. I never wrote down the blessings (although I wished I had), I knew they were there. So it is now time to continue on to my list.
