In February of this year I did "28 Days of Loving-Kindness." My friend Xazmin @ This Is The Year and her friend Amanda @ Serenity Now are going to do 27 Days of Thankful as a celebration to Thanksgiving, however I will be doing my 25 Days of Thankfulness as Thanksgiving is on the 26th of this month. I love expressing my gratitude and what better way to say "Thank You" than by doing so. So, whether it be big or small for the next few weeks I'll be sharing the many things I am grateful for. I'll even be sharing a few things I've never shared before.
For the past few weeks I had been driving myself crazy over our Christmas give and my 14 year old daughter sat me down and asked "do you believe in God?" I answered yes. She then said "why are you blocking your blessings with these unnecessary thoughts?" I immediately took a step back and realized just how much sense she had just made. He never lets us down, after-all we are doing his work. I've felt so light since then and great things have been coming our way in the form of support. I'm so thankful for my daughter! She always knows how to bring me down from my craziness and she does it with loving-kindness.
I am really looking forward to this! Preach it sista!
ReplyDeletehow lovely to have a daughter as thoughtful as her :) I am mighty pleased for you!
ReplyDeleteThere was a book title don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff... I don't remember the author.. but in Letting go and letting God and Trusting Him, it all becomes small stuff. Just as the sparrows, He will take care of His children. Your daughter is a wise one... Hmmm sounds a little like her Mom... Beautiful , inside and out. Gratitude is always a great way to start and end the day, and sprinkle it in the middle as well. May you continue to be Blessed with Love, Joy, Bliss , and Gratitude. Thank you for all your uplifting posts. Blessings to you and yours. Love and Light, Nina P

Children are definitely such a blessing! I love this post!
ReplyDeleteI was blogging about gratitude and then came over to visit your blog after your kind comment you left on mine. Gratitude is such a powerful thing... I love the ideas you have going on here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this.
Love this idea... thank you for sharing it! And as Jan said above, "May the flow of gratitude roll on..." I just love that!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter sounds wonderful, but look at her mommy as an example. This is a great idea. I'll be sure to follow.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of celebrating gratitude in this way, Tabitha! Your daughter is very wise at 14! I am glad you are feeling lighter and noticing differences in support since adopting your new attitude. I wish you many blessings in the days ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing daughter you have!
