November is traditionally a month that most people celebrate Thanksgiving. Families all over the country will gather around dining room tables, to eat, laugh, and enjoy spending time with each other. For some this will be the first time gathering since the pandemic, and boy what a joyous reunion that will be!
Today I would like to do something a little different. I have formulated some questions for you to answer, regarding the things you are grateful for this year. Please allow yourself some alone time to think and really ponder the questions as well as your answers. Take this time to be in God’s presence, and praise him through thanksgiving and gratitude.
1. What are you most grateful for this year?
2. How has God shown Himself faithful to you this year?
3. What is the largest thing that you prayed for this year, that God blessed you with?
4. What is the smallest thing that you prayed for this year, that God blessed you with?
5. What prayers were not answered the way you wanted this year, and now looking back, you are grateful that God said no?
6. How will you express your gratitude back to God?
