Being Thankful on November 1

I was feeling a little grumpy because it is winter and coldish. Then I took the dog for a walk and saw the beauty of God’s Yukon winter creation with fresh eyes “and behold, it was very good.”

Being Thankful in November

Grace by EnstromFor the third year, I’m declaring November a month of thanksgiving at Rebecca Writes. Every day in November I plan to post something for which I’m thankful.

I’m inviting your participation, too. Every one of us has an abundance of good gifts from God and listing our good gifts and thanking him for them is an an exercise that makes that crystal clear.

Here are three ways you can join in the thanksgiving. Feel free to participate as often as you like.

• Mention something you’re thankful for in the comments here and I’ll included it in one of my thanksgiving posts, or
• Email me to tell me what you’re thankful for and I’ll include it in a post, or
• Post your thankful thought(s) on your own blog, send me the link(s), and I’ll link to your post(s). Update: If you plan to make your thanksgiving posts daily during the month, let me know that and you won’t need to continue sending me daily links.

or here for back viewTo encourage you to contribute to this celebration of God’s goodness, I’m offering a draw prize for all participants. Thats right, I’m bribing you to be thankful. Every time you participate by sharing your thankfullness in any of the three ways listed above, I will enter you in the draw. On December 1 (or thereabouts) I’ll send a beautiful 2009 calendar by Yukon photographer Wayne Towriss to the one person whose name I draw from all the entries.
