Ginny - Gratitude Day 1

Hello!!!!!!!  So excited about this study!!!  Karlyn, thanks again for telling us about it.  I'm praying for you and Sawyer and rice and grain and corn!  I'm having a Southern Living home show at my house tonight.  Wish y'all were all here to stop by.  It's gonna be fun!

S - Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.  Col 3:17

O - I think being thankful makes all the "doing" a little more easier.  I think of my mom when I think of a thankful heart.  She's always so happy and optimistic, because she always sees things through the brighter side.  I remember growing up and struggling with my weight she would tell me, "I would rather my battle be weight-loss than many other things such as illnesses or handicaps."  She found something to be thankful for even in the gloomiest of situations.

A - The study asked us to rate our gratitude quotient.  Can I be all 4?!?!  There are days when I totally classify as a whiner and then there are many times that even in the simplest of moments my heart overflows with thankfulness to the Lord.  Just the other day I sat down at my kitchen table to eat supper and I said out loud to the Lord, "thank You for making this so much fun."  Life is so good and it is all because of Him.  I'm not 100% consistent, but I have learned that being thankful is much better than the alternative. 

P - Lord I thank You for the opportunity to do this study with these girls.  I pray that my eyes and heart and mind would be open to all that You want to teach me through this study.
