30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Welcome to Week Two

The Beautiful Power of Gratitude

Welcome back for another week of gratitude. We are so excited that you are here to join us! The power of gratitude can bring so much joy into your life. We really do hope you have been enjoying yourself! It’s important to find joy in the little moments and have fun! It doesn’t have to be so serious all the time! The more you take the time to “play” and enjoy life, the more joyful you will feel and realize that life is full of fun and has a lot to offer you!

So, grab your journals and bring an open heart and invite the beautiful power of gratitude to take charge in your life.

The prompts below will tell you what you should do each day for the next seven days!

Welcome to Week Two

1. Write 10 things you are grateful for!
2. Make a conscious effort to say thank you all through out the day! Say thank you to God when you wake up. Say thank you to the person who holds the door open for you. Say thank you to your mail carrier or paper boy! Say thank you to the bus driver. Say thank you to the cashier…etc.
3. Its okay to acknowledge the negative things but don’t hang out there all day! Understand that negative things may happen, but realize that your reaction to them is what matters. For today, every time something negative happens, really think about the silver lining. Turn your negatives into positives!
4. Today really be thankful for the job you have or the work you do. This could be a corporate job or your work as a stay at home mother and homemaker. Even if your job is not your dream job. Think of all the positive things about your position. The more positive things you think about you current position and the more gratitude you feel towards it, the more likely you are to manifest your dream job into your life. By being more positive and grateful, you will have a better attitude. This might bring you that promotion you’ve been looking for or a raise. It may open up your mind to more opportunities that were there before but you couldn’t see because you were too busy complaining. Write a list of 10 things you have to be grateful for about your job/position.
5. Sit and think about all the abundance in your life. At first you may think that you are lacking. However, if you look back through your life and try to make a mental list of ALL the times you’ve ever received money, you’d probably lose count. Try to think back and say thank you for all the monetary things you’ve ever received! Did you have food to eat, growing up? Did you go to school and have text books? Do you have a job and receive a paycheck? Have you ever received a gift? All of those things cost money. Really be grateful for the money for your life and you will attract more to you.
6. Go a WHOLE day without complaining. Really try and focus on not complaining today, it may seem easy, but you’ll probably catch yourself slipping up. Make a conscious effort not to complain but if you start to, turn it around with….but I really like this about it or …..but she really is great at this. And turn the complaint into a praise or compliment. Can you go a whole day without complaining?
7. Write in your journal today about something that made you smile 🙂

5 Scriptures for a Grateful Heart

It’s November and we all know what that means….. Thanksgiving! While we think about the big feast we are all about to partake in at the end of the month. The turkey, the mashed potatoes, the cranberry sauce (for those of you who like that stuff). Let us also remember that this month is a time to focus on being thankful.  This month as you may know we are doing our 30 Day Gratitude Challenge, and in honor of that I would like to give you some scripture to reflect on during this month.

Every day you should wake up feeling grateful for the things that the Lord has blessed you with. This starts your day off right. So, wake up every morning and think of all that you have to be grateful for and even sing a joyful song, to let the Lord know you are thankful for the life he has given you each day.

Sometimes worry and anxiety will creep into your mind. Instead of letting it linger there, give it up to the Lord. Thank him for taking your worry and anxiety away and turning your thoughts in a more positive direction.  Practicing this every day will make it easier and change the way you think on a day to day basis.

Be thankful for all of the people and things that you have in your life. For it was the Lord that created all of this.  Even when things don’t seem to be going your way know that the Lord has a reason for everything and be thankful for the blessing that will come from whatever it is that may have you down.  Worship the lord even in your darkest of days.

Don’t just say you are grateful, you must use your talents that the Lord has given you to show him that you are grateful for the blessings he has bestowed upon you.  Serve where you can in honor of the Lord God giving you these blessings.  Praise him so that others will know him.

The Lord wants us to have a peaceful heart.  So give your heart over to the Lord and be thankful for all of the blessings in your life.

I hope these scriptures touched your life in some way.  Giving Thanks should not be restricted to just the month of November. Practice these things throughout life and you will feel peace and joy every day.

What are some of your favorite scriptures for Thanksgiving?
