Every now and then I get the urge to challenge myself. Most of the time my challenges focus around exercise and reading. I love to do both, but I tend to notice that I can meet those goals that I set because they are what I consider fun. I am choosing to start a challenge that focuses on being grateful. I want to take the time to recognize what I am grateful at least once a week. I know that our Heavenly Father blessings me everyday so I am sure I will not run out of things to show how grateful I am for them.
I am grateful that the Holy Spirit led me to this challenge. I do not think that it was by chance that I ran into this "journaling" topic on Pinterest. Everything happens for a reason. I do not need to know the reason why at this point in time; however, there may be a time that the Lord will reveal the reason to me.
I know I am not perfect and I am a sinner. And I also know one thing for sure, I have the Lord in my heart. I am fully aware of right from wrong. And as most of us are influenced to do, I try to focus on what is right in Our Heavenly Father's eyes. Pleasing Him is all that really matters. Pleasing Him brings me that much closer to going home.
So now it is time for me to get on with my day. Eyes open and accepting heart, don't let anything pass that you have not shown gratitude towards.
