We are doing a “No Complain” November Challenge. Click here to start from the beginning!
Happy Monday! I hope you have had a good first few days of being positive and turning your gripes into gratitude.
Okay the verse for this week is:
1 Thessalonians 5:18: Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Meditate on this verse. Pray for strength to be thankful no matter what happens in your life. Write it on a card and put it where you can see it often. Share this verse card on social media so others can know about this challenge. Write it on the tablet of your heart 🙂
My little thought for today is to be thankful for the fundamental things in your life that you never think about. A missionary from Nigeria came to my house a few days ago and he called my 1800 square foot house a mansion. I was thinking “What?!” I found out later that he doesn’t even have a roof. Then I totally understood why he said that. Be thankful that as it gets cold, you have a home with a roof and windows. Be thankful for the fact that if you are cold, you can just go click the heater on.
Please share your thoughts and experiences from the last few days and share this challenge on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using #nocomplainnovember so we can spread the joy 🙂
Thanks for the great reminder and challenge! It can be so easy to complain and we need to keep remembering how much we are blessed with. I loved that he thought your house was a mansion. Such perspective!
I know that made me laugh…and then almost cry 🙂
I love love love this! I put verses around the house too, if I don’t I tend to forget easily 😉 and so true about being thankful for a house, it is so easy to take for granted what other’s can’t even imagine having! Thanks for this post!
Thanks Darcy…I hope you are having a great time being a new mommy 🙂
