30 Days of Thankfulness

I was inspired today to take a "challenge". Every day in the month of November, I am going to list one thing I am thankful for. Rather than just posting it on Facebook, I decided to give myself a "blog challenge". Since I have not been doing very well posting, I have challenged myself to post [at least] once each day about the things I am thankful for. So, since today is November 1st, I will go ahead and post the first thing I am thankful for! Here we go.....

Day 1: I am thankful for God's grace, mercy, and love

I figured I would think of the most general thing I am thankful for, and this is what I came up with. I am thankful for God's grace in my life because He is sufficient; He is enough for me, no matter my circumstances. I am thankful for God's mercy, in that, He sent His son for ME [and the world] knowing I am a sinner, knowing I would have a rebellious heart and knowing that I would need a Savior. He has forgiven me for all that I have done and will do and I can live freely because of that. I am thankful for His love because He gives it to me freely. His love isn't based on conditions or my actions. He doesn't love me more or less than He does any of His other children. He loves me more than I can imagine. He loves me so much that he formed me in my Mama's tummy and He knows how many [gray] hairs are on my head.
For all of these things I am thankful! Don't expect for each day of thankfulness to be serious, deep, or lengthy--some days may be light hearted, shallow, and short! Maybe you will be inspired to start thinking about some things you are thankful for--we all have way more than 30 things we could think of! :)

Until my next post...
