Give Thanks
Today starts my favorite month of the year and in a few short weeks my favorite holiday.....THANKSGIVING.
See here is the thing... Thanksgiving is the only holiday not eaten up by commercialism. It is also expected for you to feed people. I love cooking so double bonus!!!!
I challenged my small group in Aspire Youth to list something they are thankful for each day this month. We are also reading Psalms so I think the two go hand in hand.
I found a guide for the month to help us not be repetitive. I will post my thankful each day.....so help keep me honest, deal?
Today it was what we are thankful for about our personality. I love that I am a quirky, odd ball. I cry every time I pray and most times when I have deep heart felt discussions. I make jokes when I am nervous. I talk way, way too much when I am uncomfortable. I try to feed everyone. I have a semi compulsive need to make people happy. I want you to be comfortable, even if I'm not. I also have a feisty. I don't back down easy. When I am convinced of something, I am determined and unwavering. Despite years of being self conscious about who I was, I am in a place now where I love who I am. I am thankful God has given me the ability to appreciate what makes me.....well me. My quirks are the very things that draw me to others and others to me. Those quirks enabled me to reach people even in my Godless times. My heart was always wanting to help others, but it is God's love that has given me direction and purposed me for his will.
Thank God for all our personality differences, how lame would it be if we were all alike.
So my challenge to you, comment below if you like, but make it a point to marinate your soul, heart and mind in thankfulness this month. God is so good.
