40Days Of Lent Challenge 2016 – Day 10Day 10 of our Lent Challenge – Be THANKFUL
I know that it can be difficult to try to see things from a positive perspective sometimes. I know that in the really tough moments – attitude and grace must be an intentional element to our days. It must be a choice to choose grace, mercy, and thankfulness.
I am Thankful for many things that I never give a voice to. Right now I vow to be intentional today to THANK special people in my life. I vow to be more intentional moving forward in being Thankful for everything….even….er….hardship.
My husband and I attend Celebrate Recovery meetings each and every week at our home church – Crossroads church in Monticello, Il. We close each large group meeting with the Serenity Prayer. Many people are aware of the beginning of Serenity Prayer (the first paragraph), here is it in full.
If you are NOT sure WHAT Celebrate Recovery is – here is a short video to give you a glimpse in to it.
