November is traditionally the month of thanksgiving but sometimes we don't feel that way. Many of you have probably seen the phenomenon that overtakes social media each year around this time as people start posting each day what they're thankful for. It's a great tradition but at the end of the month it stops and people go back to their posts about the day or problems or whatever else, there's nothing wrong with that, but suddenly they forget all of the things that they were thankful for just a few weeks ago!
It reminds me of the verse in Romans, "The heart is deceitful above all things, who can know it?" As humans we are so quick to say something one day and put it out of our minds, and hearts, the very next day.
So here's the challenge, after the holiday season is over keep a track, whether it's posting on social media each day or just writing it down in a journal, take a month and each day remember to say something you're thankful for. You might be amazed at the difference it can make in your life.
