On this last day of November, winding down a focus

On this last day of November, winding down a focus on Thanks-Living with a big reality reminder.... problems, pain and adversity are here to stay. But they can be viewed as a gift of growth rather than something terrible to be avoided.
.
Anyone else a conflict or problem avoider? I know I am. Not suggesting we look for problems or stir up drama to create them. But I am reminding us that problems will always come and go... and each one we encounter has a purpose. We can collapse under the purpose or rise above the current situation by viewing each hardship as a gift that God uses in our life for growth and good.

So the last challenge of the month is to take that problem and declare joy over it! It is possible to do this by faith that God has you through all the things you go through.

Last day
1. One thing thankful
2. One scripture to stand in
3. One person contacted
4. One problem prayed over

I hope you enjoyed the November Thanks-Living challenge. It's the last day of the month... make it count.

Does anyone else have this or remember these? I go

Does anyone else have this or remember these? I got it years ago at a Christmas event where Emily Barnes was speaking. For about 35 years I have pulled this out at Christmas, sprinkling my kids who turned adults with "jingle seasoning" Now I do the imaginary fun sprinkles on my grandkids. Tis the Season🎄

Feeling a bit defeated tonight and I suspect that sometimes you feel like that too. Life is not always perfect and people often disappoint us. Sometimes we disappoint ourselves. Here's the deal... we are human. We are all probably trying to do the best we can. At the end of the day we all need Jesus.

Was so happy to see friend @meganfate teach here in Arizona @sunvalleycc yesterday.
The thing that stood out to me is what I am posting here. Because it's so easy to look to people or circumstances to make our lives better. But Jesus came as a gift into the darkness and so I know he can come into our troubles and disappointments.

"The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:2‬ ‭NLT

Perhaps our frequent disappointment triggers are a sign that something within us needs his touch.

Getting ready to focus in on the gift of Jesus as December comes.

Happy Sunday Friends.

Grateful to be alive. Grateful that God knows the number of our days. Grateful that an early adult medical prognosis was not the final word, but Gods will is and was. ( liver burning out in my 20's) Grateful that cancer did not rob me but gave me the gift of seeing life differently, more sacred than I did before.
He is writing our story. He's the best author❤️

I'm loving this journaling prompt exercise from @onsiteworkshops. Coming off of Thanksgiving and moving into the last days of the year, these journaling prompts are my Saturday morning quiet space.... well, this and coffee!
