Day 29 - An Attitude of Gratitude 30-Day Challenge: Write down one thing you're thankful to God for and do somethingspecific to return the kindness.
I heard someone say that there are several things in life we can't choose—the family in which you were born into or the time period in which you were born.
No matter the circumstances surrounding our birth we must acknowledge that the events of our upbringing play a major role in who we are and what we've become.
Today, I'd like to take moment to thank God for those who played pivotal roles in my life.
Philippians 1:3-6 reminds us of this prayer of thanksgiving, “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”
As we end our 30-day “Attitude of Gratitude” challenge besure to give credit where credit is due. Thank those who contributed positively to helping you to become the person that you are.
Don’t hesitate to admit that even the not so positive actions of others may have played a role in changing the trajectory of our lives for the better. Pray for them and ask God to help their evil intent to work out for your good.
So, God I thank you for family, friends, and frenemies.
