Last year I saw on Facebook one of my friends was posting something they were thankful for every day for the month of November leading up to Thanksgiving. I decided to join in! It was a great exercise for reminding me how many great things God has given me.
Tomorrow is November 1st and it's time to start again. I've been in a funk the last several days, I'm hoping as I redirect my thoughts to things I'm thankful, joy will refill my heart. It seems like once Halloween hits, it's non-stop until the end of the year, with two birthdays included in that time period, too many end of the years become hectic and stressful. I am praying this year will be different for me.
If you are a facebook person, I would encourage you to give it a try and encourage your friends to join you. Post one thing a day that you are thankful for. If you miss a day, don't stop, just pick up where you left off. This isn't meant to be another thing to do and be a burden, but an opportunity to fill your heart! If you aren't a facebook person, make list or share around the dinner table every night one thing you are thankful for.
I Thessalonians 5:18 - "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
