Last year I decided to spend the month of November
reflecting daily on at least one thing I was thankful for. The
motivation behind this idea was my own cynicism & a particularly
long season of apathy that I just couldn't seem to get out of.
The experience of focusing on not what I wanted, but what I had been given
was extremely fruitful, & it became a testament to the transforming power
of gratefulness- a lesson I am still learning even a year later.
So here it goes:
November 1: Yesterday I was thankful for meaningful
roommate conversations. I know I've said this before,
but I have won the roommate lottery the past several
years, & this one is no different. I am lucky to be able to
be encouraged, honest, & supported by any friend, but one
that lives in your own house is a great thing.
November 2: This morning, I am thankful for
words like this:
"Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to me."
[Psalm 116:7]
Reading that this morning was a good reminder that
I am deeply loved & cared for.
