Thankfulness

November 28, 2009 | By | |

How often I forget to be thankful in everyday life.  That’s probably one of the reasons that I appreciate Thanksgiving as a holiday the most.

We all need that continual reminder that we need to be thankful.  The funny thing is that the times we need to be the most thankful are the times we are most likely to forget.  Well, at least that’s how it is for me.

What do we need to do to continually remember to be thankful.  That will be different for each of us of course, so we’ll need to find that out but one of the best ways I have found is to post reminders in areas I will see them regularly.

This could be a desk, bathroom mirror, kitchen window, washing machine, computer, etc.  I think you get the idea.  Simple reminders, prayers, scriptures, quotes…whatever it takes to put you in an attitude of thankfulness randomly through your day.

A simple concept that could change your day, your week or maybe even your life.

    Your page is adorable. Thanksgiving inspired me to write about a few of things that have happened in my life that I didn’t think I would ever be thankful for, but now am. It’s all about finding Gods grace and blessings in all of our situations. I’ll be reading more on your page. It’s really lovely.

    I really enjoyed your website! Your blog is wonderful reading. Have you heard of Danny the Dragon? One of my favorites, and worth a visit as it is the nominee for Best Children

    A little lady at church kept prayer lists posted on her bathroom mirror – I was one of those post-its. I thought, “hhhhmmmm God + post-its” and I posted a scripture on my refrigerator. We’ve recently moved and I need to do that again. Thanks for the prompt! My little lady went home to heaven, and I so miss being on someone’s prayer-list post-it! I should probably pick up the tradition. You certainly are seed planting with your post!

    Be blessed!
