Thankfulness Challenge

November is always considered the month of Thankfulness. You find that people from all walks of life will put aside anger, malice, bitterness, etc., and find SOMETHING to be thankful for! I am sure on each social network you will find daily posts of what people are thankful for. I am one of those people who is finding something to be thankful for each day. I have been wondering what would happen if we decided to make EVERY day of the year Thankful Day! Imagine the change we could have in our attitudes if we decided to do this. I know there are days that are difficult to find something to be thankful for. Some days we LONG for an ending to! I know that when I look to be thankful for something it changes my day! It can be as simple as I am thankful my husband remembered to set the trash on the curb! When we look for things to be thankful for it will change our outlook on situations!

Challenge Time

In I Thessalonians 5:18 it says In every thing give THANKS: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. I think this is one of the hardest things to do! When trials come in my life it is hard to be thankful for them. I think of this verse and think seriously?! you want me to be thankful for..... I think all of us get to that point in life, but when I get to that point God reminds me (sometimes not so gently) of all that Job went through and still thanked God. I want to challenge each of us to adopt the thought of a YEAR of THANKFULNESS. Every day we need to find something to be Thankful for. I am going to buy a small notebook and make it my Year of Thankfulness book. I think it will be awesome to write in it each day and have something to look through on the days that we are struggling. Please join me for this challenge! Let's see if we can help ourselves by looking for things to be Thankful for even on the days of gloom.
