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. 

30 days of Gratitude Challenge-Day 9

DAY 9


Today I will start with this quote: 


“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” - Meister Eckhart


Gratitude is all abut being thankful for what you already HAVE, not what you want, think you need, or hoping you get!


Today we are going to show gratitude because we will realize when we put ourselves in a position to be grateful for ALL things in our lives that gratitude has the ability to shift our loves for the BETTER.


Today make the effort to make a GRATITUDE LIST:


Even on what appears to be a bad day you will find there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for!

DAY 8 30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE

As the challenge goes on I can think of more and more things to be grateful for!

Today let's focus on being restored!

You know what it is like to be down to your last, to not know your worth, to feel like you are at the end of the rope oh but when God restores you it is a feeling like no other!

TODAY SHOW GRATITUDE BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN RESTORED!

"He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."--Psalm 23:3

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."---Isaiah 40:31

Day 6 of the 30 days of gratitude!

We are moving right along and I do not know about you but everyday I wake up with a new sense of gratefulness because I am making it a point to be grateful.

Today we are going to focus on gratitude for our TRIALS.

I know that sounds crazy but just imagine what your trials have taught you.

Mine has taught me who my real friends are, that I can endure a lot more than what I thought I could, my trials have molded me for the better, they have made me a stronger prayer warrior, and most importantly they have taught me that God will do just what He said He would do.

I am grateful that through my trials I have learned God is FAITHFUL!

Today show some gratitude for your trials!

DAY 5 OF 30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE CHALLENGE

Today is day 5 of the 30 day gratitude challenge.

Today we will focus on PEACE, the peace that surpasses all understanding.

I am so glad that God is a God of peace. Think about those storms you have made it out of or even the ones you are in now and remember that God can and will provide peace.

I thank a dear friend of mine for giving me this prayer I say daily now, “Lord by NO means should no one or no thing still my peace on today”

Scriptures to read on today to help you be grateful for God’s peace.

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Philippians 4:7

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

30 days of Gratitude-Day 2

30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE CHALLENGE

DAY 2

Today for our gratitude challenge we will be grateful for those in our life who truly love us.

They have no hidden agendas, know our hang-ups, do not talk about us behind out back, believe in us when we do not believe in ourselves, laugh with us, cry with us, and pray for us when we are going through the storm.

If you are feeling like you do not have anyone in your life that loves you like this then let me lead you to the two scriptures below:

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

John 10:15

“Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.”
