Attitude of Gratitude Day 1 & 2

/ LaShona Sellers / Leave a comment

According to some of my friends on Facebook, November is the month of gratitude and each day you’re supposed to post one thing for which you are grateful. While I’m on a self-imposed FB detox of sorts (another post for another day), I’m not one to turn down any opportunity to give thanks so I thought I’d blog my daily gratitudes.

Day 1
I’m grateful for clarity of mind especially since I’ve only averaged about 12 hours total sleep over the past 3 nights with a cranky but clingy 21 month old.

Day 2
I’m grateful for heat and electricity. Our furnace is out and while waiting for the part (that had to be specially ordered-then delayed due to Superstorm Sandy) we’ve been using space heaters. I know that I can”make do” but in light of all that the storm victims are enduring, my heart and prayers truly go out to them.

So Random

Our church is currently doing a 21 day corporate fast. We’re joining with other churches and believers to seek God and His will for this year and beyond. You can go to Awakening 21 for information about the fast, devotions, inspirational videos- it’s just a one stop shop for anyone desiring a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Anyway as part of my fast I’m abstaining from Facebook. Is Facebook the devil? Of course not, but for me it can be a distraction and a time killer. Say I log on to accept a friend request or post a quick status update and two hours later I’m thinking where did the time go and of all the other things I could have and should have been doing. So in the span of three days I’ve received two emails from FB which in short say “Hey your friends are posting and liking all this interesting stuff. You don’t want to miss out on the fun so why don’t you log on!” I guess the site’s algorithms or something have detected my absence for the past week.  It’s temptation by email!
