Thirty Days of Blessings Challenge

Have you ever thought about this? What if you woke up tomorrow with only what you thanked God for before you went to sleep?

I am not perfect. I don't try to be. But I am thankful. I am thankful for all the big things, but most of all for all the little things. Seeing a smile on my son's face when I wake him every morning. Seeing my husband come through the door after work. Having somewhere to live and food to eat.

I have noticed more often than not, people complaining about what they don't have. The latest cell phone, an expensive home or car, a lot of money, etc. If you think about what you don't have or what you want all the time, how can you truly be thankful for what you have?

I was one of those people. Always wanting more. As much as I accumulated, I wasn't happy. That greed and self idolization is dangerous and unattractive. I honestly think that we have become a society that values people by what they have, not by who they are. And to me, that is very sad. I know a lot of people who have it all, that are not very nice people. I also know people who don't even own the dirt on the bottom of their shoe, and they'd do anything for anyone.

So here is my challenge to you, which I am going to do as well. Be truthful and you'll be surprised at how many blessings you have everyday. Get yourself a little notebook. I want you to write down every blessing you come across or see for thirty days. Big ones, small ones, anything. Something you view as a blessing. I want you to see how much beauty is in God's land. I want you to see how much you truly have within you and around you. This is an adventure for all of us. I cannot wait to share my Thirty Days of Blessings with you!

God Bless and Keep Smilin'
