A Small Change

Day Thirty-seven: I've decided to try changing my gratitude time to the morning. This way I can still be thankful for things that happened in the day before, but I'll also have more energy to be truly thankful. By writing at night, I found I was approaching this time of writing as a chore or task rather than an opportunity for joy or recognition that God is amazing. I am not satisfied with that, so I have made this change. I'm also hoping that I'll be thankful all day long for the thing I write about in the morning. Thus, I'll have a better day and probably a more worshipful one.

This change kind of goes along with our word for the year - discipline. To me, discipline isn't about making myself do something just to do it. It's about what I get from doing it and finding an effective way to do it consistently. So yes, I've been disciplined about my daily thankfulness in that I've posted every day, but the method could use some work to make it more effective (fulfilling)...thus the change!

Thank you, God, for my mind. I'm grateful that I have the ability to be committed to something that matters to me. I'm thankful that I can reflect and find ways to improve. Ah...being thankful for my mind makes me want to write much more about the minds we humans have. These things I've mentioned are enough for today. You have blessed me God.


What's this about? I decided on my birthday to make a commitment to being intentionally thankful. I challenged myself to post one thing I am thankful for everyday this year.
