After dinner on Thanksgiving, my mom handed everyone around the table a little paper book. She explained that there are 7 pages in the book and she challenged us to every day for a week find 7 things to be thankful for. It was a challenge to find the little silly things that people don’t usually see to be thankful for (for example…q-tips, but really, what would we do without them??) but it was also a lot of fun. It opened my eyes to all the many small and large blessings God daily drops in our path. I enjoyed it so much, I’m starting a new little gratitude book today to do for this next new week.
I encourage you all to try it for yourselves. You’d be surprised at what you find to be thankful for. :-)
