~Thankful

Ya know, I'm not a very thankful person. I just simply take everything for granted. Like each day. I simply wake up expecting time to continue on. But we aren't guaranteed a set amount of time, or even days. Life is so fragile...so fleeting. What am I doing to make a difference? What lasting value will there be from my existence? Am I glorifying God right now? Do people see Christ through me?
Makes me think of a song I really like (one of hundreds!) "Lord I need you all the time." My sisters and I sing it together a lot. You should learn it too! (The Wissmanns sing it)
So I did a project that I thought might help me remember to be more thankful, and to praise God more often.




See? I decorated a jar and wrote on it "God is so good." So now I write things down that God has done or blessed me with. After I use up all my paper pieces I'll open up my jar and read what all God did. If I don't write them down I'll just forget about them. Also when ever Satan tries to come around with lies like ''God doesn't care about you" or "He isn't even listening" I can just dump out my jar and prove Satan wrong!

  2. What a brilliant idea! And the way you've decorated the jar is cute too. :) It is so easy to just forget how God has blessed us.
    The questions you brought up run through my mind too - what am I doing that will last? How am I preparing for eternity? Sobering thoughts, when I consider what I am doing.
    And yes, I know that song of the Wissmanns! :)

    1. I'm approving. Honestly I don't know what to say to you. I'm not perfect in any way so I'd like to say sorry for the inconsistencies you may be seeing in my life. If you want you can email me and we can talk a bit more?
