Count Your Blessing Not Your Worries

Drama, parents not understanding, difficult teachers, homework: these are all focuses that steal our joy. Our focus so easily switches to the negative instead of taking a few moments to focus on the positive. But as we approach Thanksgiving, why not stop and focus on the good.

We are going to make a 100 things to Thank God for this next week. I want you to post as a comment on here or on your facebook status or the My Life facebook page 10-15 things a day you are thankful for yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Here are 10 ideas:

1. Who made you smile today?
2. Who was there for you when you were sad?
3. What is a gift God has given you?
4. Name one person who loves you and would do anything for you.
5. What is the last present you received?
6. Did you wake up alive this morning?
7. What food will you have to eat today?
8. Are you able to have a Bible?
9. Do you have the freedom of communication?
10. Who is someone who has been teaching you (life or school)?

Let's start making our list of thanks.

Write this verse on your mirror:
Psalm 107:1
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

My life, I choose to offer prayers of thanks this week.
