Time sure is flying, isn't? It seems we just welcomed in 2016, and now that year is all tucked away in the midst of joy, hardship, victories, failures, memories, expectations, and a whirlwind of activities with friends, neighbors, family, and even strangers.
How have you fared?
If social media is any indication, 2016 has not been a stellar year for many of you (for me either). But the one thing I am sure of is that God is good every year . . . He does not change.
For the past few years, one of the way I have worked to counter the hardships of life is to keep a written record of my blessings.
Beginning today, I challenge you to record one thing daily for which you are grateful — and if you are on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram — join me in sharing them with others, too. We will use the hashtag #Grateful2017 to find and encourage each other. I can't promise that I will post daily, but it is a goal of mine to do this much more often than I have in the past. I hope you will join me!
Included with the journal are Scripture cards with 12 brand new verses about gratitude. The concept is simple. Just write down one thing for which you are grateful each day. At the end of the year, you will have recorded 365 beautiful blessings, and memorized 12 grateful verses.
