I have got so much to thank God for.Where do I begin.. I know! I am going to pose my own challenge for next year.
First let me say I love Christmas I really do , but its the hardest time for me also. I also found that I wish it was Christmas daily. Weird right.. :)
All the month of November everyone puts up on Facebook how thankful they are daily. But December gets here and its such a busy month we do forget to still be thankful. Hence next year I am going to do things a little different at my house. Everyday starting Christmas day this year I am going to cut piece of paper ,write my blessing of the day.. something that brought me joy on that paper. I will then attach a string to it. Next year this time... or whenever I put up my tree I want to have a tree full of paper. So when I add lights to my tree and then the papers the lights will illuminate all the little things that have made me happy all year. It will be my thankful tree. My Jesus hung apon a tree. So I can be thankful! So we can be thankful! I challenge you to do the same. Make next year special... then lets all post pictures of our thankful trees. I bet I can't get 10 people to do it.. I bet .
How do you think my family will feel when they go check out my tree and they see something written on that note that they have done for me.. They will have joy . They will know they were a blessing to me, to their family.
So here is the challenge: buy some card stock ,different colors. cut the pieces into a shape or a square.. I think a star would be cool.. then every day write on your cut out.. I bet you even by the end of week one you will have a spark of Christmas joy. At the end of the month do a recap.. READ your blessings. Repeat this every month..until its Christmas 2014. Then post your pictures . Right here. Back to this blog. Post them to me. So that everyone can see. Get creative , have fun . There is no right or wrong tree. Its your tree of thankfulness.
Stay tuned I will keep you posted on how its going. Merry Christmas!!!!! The Sinclair's
