Thankful

So many times we focus on all that may be going wrong or that could possibly go wrong and forget to be both grateful and thankful for all that is going right.

This post is going to be short and is just to remind each of you to be thankful on today. If for no other reason than you have breathe in your body, food in the frig, and someplace to lay your head. Be mindful as long as you have the opportunity to live another day than even the things that are going wrong can once again fall back into place.

Be thankful on today.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday let us also be thankful that it was men and women like him who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the equality of all. The battle has not been completely won but lets praise God for the small victories we have won since the Civil Rights Movement began.

Be blessed on today and remember be THANKFUL!

RACK (Random Acts of Christmas Kindness)

We are quickly approaching day 3! I have been BLESSED already not only by my own experiences but by the experiences of those around me!

Keep the texts, FB posts, tweets, and messages coming! They are making my day!

RANDOM ACTS OF CHRISTMAS KINDNESS INFO

Below are a few guidelines for the 12 days of Christmas, if you cannot do what is outlined just do SOMETHING everyday!

Let’s RACK (Random Acts of Christmas Kindness) those around us!

I love each of you and I am wishing you God’s best.

December 12, 2011- Day 1- (We will start simple)

Today do not just pass the homeless person on the street, if they are there with a sign give them SOMETHING and a kind word. If you do not encounter a homeless person on the street give to the Salvation Army bell ringers somewhere today.

December 13, 2011 Day 2

Call a local nursing home; ask if they have one person there with no family this holiday season. Ask them one thing that person needs or desires. Purchase the one item and have it at the nursing home by December 24th. Advise the staff you do not have to see the person or invade their space and if necessary you can just give the gift to the staff and they can deliver to the person.

December 14, 2011 Day 3

Speak with your pastor and ask if he is aware of a family that is in need this holiday season. If he is purchase a gift card of at least $10 from a chain store (Wal-Mart or Target for example) and give to your pastor to give to them. Ask that he do so anonymously, you do not need the glory and the person does not need to know.

If you do not know of anyone in your congregation there is someone in our congregation that could use the help, please contact me for details.

December 15, 2011 Day 4

This time of year several students in schools begin to run low on pencils, Kleenex, and other necessary supplies. Purchase a few packages of pencils or a few boxes of Kleenex and take to a local school.

December 16, 2011 Day 5

Call a local homeless shelter, food kitchen, or group home ask them one item they are in need of this holiday season, purchase a few of those items and deliver by December 24th.

December 17, 2011-Day 6

Become a people watcher today while you are out and about. Today pay attention to those around you and use discernment to help someone who is in need.

December 18, 2011-Day 7

Think of a neighbor or coworker that you never talk to or rarely encounter, purchase that person a Christmas card. Give it to the first person that comes to mind, more than likely that is the person who needs it.

December 19, 2011-Day 8

Call a local children’s hospital and see what the children’s ICU or those children who are there long term would like.

For example Women & Children’s Hospital in Columbia has Wii’s so they needed extra remotes so that children could play with their family members and requested movies for their library.

December 20, 2011-Day 9

Purchase a several can goods and return to a bin that is having a can food drive. This time of year several grocery stores have the Harvesters bins.

December 21 2011-Day 10

12 Days of Christmas--Random Acts of Christmas Kindness

I want to get the body of Christ as a whole to join in on 12 days of Random Acts of Kindness with me beginning December 12th!

Below you will find a copy of a letter I sent to all my friends who wanted to participate. Please feel free to join us.

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2011

I am ecstatic that the people of God has decided to move together as one body and show those around us that God has not forgot. The holidays are a hard time of year for many, while we scramble to purchase wants there are many choosing between paying the light bill and the water bill.

When I expressed the idea many shared this is something they always do as a result of that comment I thought outside of the box for the 12 days of Christmas. Some days will remove you from your comfort zone and have you encounter people that you might not otherwise encounter. However if Jesus could travel to the sick, needy, and hurt by foot we certainly can do it with a car!

Below are a few guidelines for the 12 days of Christmas, if you cannot do what is outlined just do SOMETHING everyday!

Let's show gratitude for every time we "fell" its then we learned what we were made of. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising when we fall.

rom losing even with good tactics! That is something worth showing gratitude for!

Thank God that lifes trials has taught u to strategic approaches. Knowing HOW to fight is a tactic. Knowing WHEN to fight is a strategy. Strategy protects you f

Be grateful for patience. In the Bible PATIENCE is "consistent behavior." It means being THE SAME no matter what. TRIALS reveal PATIENCE at work in you.

Show gratitude on today 4 the fact that no matter how ugly your past is God has the ability to make your future beautiful! It's not over until God says its over

B grateful that what God says is 4 u is 4 u. There is NO devil in hell that can STOP it. So don't desire what God hasn't said is yours but wait 4 what He said.

As much as you can, give thanks. He's already given us more than we deserve.

Yesterday time caught up with me so today there will b 2 posts. Let's b grateful that wherever we r God is. We cannot escapes His presence now thats a blessing

Day 21 of 30 days of Gratitude

Today let's focus on FORGIVENESS!

The ability to forgive and be forgiven!

We have been forgiven by friends and family but more importantly we have been forgiven by God!

Think of all things you have done that others would say you were not worthy of forgiveness for BUT God saw fit to not only forgive us but afford us with new mercies the next day and the day after.

Show gratitude not only for being forgiven but for your ability to forgive. If you have grudges you are holding let go, let God, and walk into the things God has for you!

Let's show gratitude for forgiveness today and while doing so reflect on the following scriptures:

Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

Mat 6:14-15 For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

Luk 23:34 But Jesus was saying, Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing. And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

DAY 20 of 30 days of Gratitude

DAY 20

Can you believe that this 30 day challenge is more than half-way over? In the midst of it all I have found myself giving thanks for all the things that REALLY matter!

Today lets show gratitude for laughter. I know it seems pretty simple but just remember all the times when in the midst of your tears that your laughter or someone else's brightened your day.

As a mother one of the best gifts I have had the opportunity of experiencing is the laughter of my children. It is something about it that lets me know that everything will be ok.

Sometimes laughter is the rainbow after the storm, it is a reminder that no matter what may be going on in life there is still SOMETHING worth laughing about, smiling about, and appreciating.
