Come join Iris’s “Thankful Thursdays” every Thursday
A few things to remind us to be THANKFUL Daily.
Day #1- Thursday– Thanks for the Pain. We all have hard times, but God is with us
even in the worst circumstance. Thank God for His presence, comfort and strength that has helped you get through a rough season in your life.
Day #2 - Friday– Laughter Day. There is just something about laughter that makes it
easier for us to be grateful people. So, make today laughter day in your home. Tell funny stories, jokes, watch a good comedy together and thank God, that He gave us the gift of humor.
Day #3 - Saturday– Reminder Day. Have a hard time remembering to be thankful? Put
reminders up around your house, a note on your refrigerator, for example, that says “GiveThanks”.
Day #4 - Sunday– Give Thanks for God’s Word. Offer up thanks to God today, for
giving us the Scriptures. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path.” Psalm 119:105
Day #5 - Monday– Wake Up and Smell the Roses Day. We all get so busy that we can ignore the wonders all around us – like the smell of coffee when we get up, the roses in the backyard, or a friend who drops by to say hello. Today, take time to notice your surroundings and thank God for the things we often take for granted.
Day #6 - Tuesday - Thanks for Freedom! Thank God for allowing us to live in a
democracy where we are allowed to vote. Sure, we don’t live in a “perfect” country, but we can certainly be thankful for the many freedoms we enjoy that many countries don’t.
Day #7 - Wednesday– Little Things Make a Difference. We often ignore the little
things in life that make life easier and better for us. Today, make a list of ‘little things’ that you appreciate. For example, my list will include indoor plumbing, refrigerators and my computer.
