And I see it now for what this really is, this dare to write down one thousand things I love.
It really is a dare to name all the ways that God loves me. The true Love Dare.

i love this list… the little memories of your trip… and the sweetness life is!
Sand, beach, sounds like you spent time at my favorite place. That friend is priceless.
Beautiful list. You’ve got some great ones!
I was just having this discussion the other day to a friend about what if God’s plan for you is right where you are? We so much ‘stuff’ around us that we believe we need to be happy or successful but what if what we have and where we are at right now is what life is all about? Why not enjoy it? I love you post, you show that there are so many things to be thankful for. Congrats!
I love all of these, but being a mom of 4 girllies like you, #314 made me smile A LOT:) Although all the other ones do too:) Great List! You have been in my thoughts and prayers everyday, thanks for sharing coffee time with me even if we are 1000 miles from each other. Keep smiling
Beautiful words and beautiful girls!
