30 Days Of Thankfulness

Tonight I determined to read up on some of my favorite blogs.  This meant a stop over at my friend Bonita's blog... and I was not disappointed.  Her post on the month of November is very thought-provoking.  She has challenged me to make the month of November a month of praising God for something each day.  Because I did not read this until tonight I feel like to a degree I have blown it-- so perhaps I will redeem the day somewhat by praising God that He makes all things new. 

 

In an effort to share what I am focusing on, and perhaps inspire others of you to focus on praising God this month, I will *attempt* to share each day what I focused on or what God revealed to me.  I can't guarantee it will be something different each day.  I can't even guarantee it will be all that original or interesting.  But I will share-- and maybe you all will share too.  Oh, to be as grateful and thankful as we should... this month I am going to attempt to be.  It takes 21 days to form a habit.  What a beautiful habit that would be.

My Book!



Using the personal stories of successful Christian writers, agents and editors, For the Write Reason helps writers of all levels learn from the experience of "insiders" in Christian publishing. The coordinating Bible study allows readers to delve into God's call on their own lives. Through this unique blend of encouraging words, advice and digging into God's word, writers are able to determine God's direction for their writing. Available for $17.99 from Proverbs 31 Ministries.
