One Thousand Gifts: 04-04-2011 {Giveaway}

More gifts. And to think...the ones written down are only the rare few that I actually remember to record. He spoils us...even though we're so unworthy.


{Giveaway details are at the end of this post!}

#127 - A couple hours out by myself. No shopping to do. No work needing to be done. Just me. And God.

#128 - He loves me. Oh how He loves me.

#129 - a great school day with very few major interruptions from Aniston :)

#130 - watching the little old couple inside the grocery store...

#131 - ...and then following their vehicle out of the parking lot to discover that their license plate frame had their names and anniversary date on it. I smiled from ear to ear!

#132 - witnessing the baptism of a new Sister in Christ, who also happens to be my brother's girlfriend, who also happened to be the winner of last week's giveaway (I didn't realize until she emailed me! How cool is that?!?!)

#133 - four extremely well-behaved children during the church service

#134 - hearing Pierce (age 8) "participating" in the service by answering the (sometimes rhetorical) questions the pastor asked during the sermon

#135 - Amy's welcoming, sweet family

#136 - another date with my eldest child

#137 - enormous white (birch?) tree in the middle of a sea of brown trees...breathtaking

#139 - no children waking during the thunderstorm (almost never happens!)

#140 - quiet mornings

Do you have your own copy of Ann's book, One Thousand Gifts? I sure hope so, because no book (besides the Holy Bible) has ever impacted my life as much as this book. God blessed me so much through this book that I want to give it away to every person I know.

Since I don't have that kind of money :) , I've decided to go on a (much) smaller scale and give away five copies of Ann's amazing book. And since only approximately three people read this blog (haha!) I thought it would probably be wise to space those five copies out over five weeks.

So TODAY, I'm giving away another one copy of Ann Voskamp's book, One Thousand Gifts. Here are the details:

• Enter by simply leaving a comment! Any old comment will do.
• You can receive up to three additional entries by sharing this giveaway through Twitter, Facebook, or your blog. (One entry for each...please leave an additional comment linking to your tweet, blog, etc.)
• Entries can be received up until Friday, 11:59 a.m. CDT. I'll announce the (randomly-picked) winner sometime Friday afternoon or evening.
• I'll ship the book directly from Amazon to you or a friend or relative of your choice.
• U.S. participants only please. (Which is somewhat ironic since Ann herself lives in Canada...hmmm.)
• This giveaway is sponsored by the famous Mama Bird (yep, that would be me) and her husband. :)

Next week will be the final week of these giveaways, and I've got a little something special planned!

And again, will you pray with me? That God will orchestrate this giveaway so that this book ends up in the hands of whomever He deems?

{Thank you.}

Have a great week!
