It's November first.
There's no time like the present to start a new habit,
to renew your mind from old habits of murmuring and complaining,
to retrain your mind to respond in gratitude and thanksgiving!
Why not begin now?
I've asked my church to join me in journaling at least three things they are thankful for every day.
I'm putting a challenge out on Facebook for everyone to join me in posting one thing they are thankful for every day in the month of November.
By Thanksgiving day you could have developed a new habit of gratitude!
You can have a mind and heart that is full of thanksgiving instead of dissatisfaction.
It's as easy as noticing and counting your blessings.
Won't you join me?

Counting gifts this year, but I love the challenge of counting three a day in November. This is my favorite month because of Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGinger, so glad you are counting along with me!
DeleteGreat challenge, Elizabeth! I'm focusing on Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle, not a Holiday, this month on FB and the blog. Cultivating a grateful heart is worth the effort, and guaranteed a blessings! Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteJune, counting my blessings and choosing to have an attitude of gratitude has definitely been life changing for me!

DeleteNovember always brings a greater awareness of gratitude (or sometimes the lacking of in my life). I have so much to be thankful for, even during times of lack.
ReplyDeleteBarbie, gratitude in the deep valley times isn't easy, but I know it's the will of God. Love you, and am still praying and believing with you.
DeleteBeautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elaine!
DeleteI love Ann Voskamp's book and have been counting blessings for several years. It is a lifestyle that should be embraced all year round. So blessed that you linked up with The Weekend Brew.
ReplyDeleteYay for another gratitude gathering sister!
DeleteI've not read Anns book but the spirit of thanksgiving is heavily poured upon me of late. I'm thankful for so much. I'll join you this month. Blessings friends.
ReplyDeleteLisha, I started keeping my gratitude journal because of Ann's encouragement on her blog, before she wrote her book. It's been a life changing habit that I've been doing for five years now.
DeleteAs usual you're a treat and a care-giver. Thank you so much, as usual, and I love the photo.and the Word. As I said, you're a treat, Elizabeth. Always a blessing, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, friend.
