Pursuing Loveliness: Where To Begin?

   Not long after I got up this morning, my mother handed me a book to read.

   The book was One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.

   Mama challenged me to join her and my sister, Emma in completing Ann's Joy Dare - a challenge to give thanks to God for three things each day he has blessed us with, one thousand gifts throughout the year. Each month, Ann posts a calendar on her blog of things to look out for each day. As this month's dares began on January 1st, I'll be doing double time for the rest of January. 

   So now, I dare you. I dare you to give thanks to our Creator this year, every day, for even the smallest of graces. Join me in completing the 2012 Joy Dare. To God be the glory.
