Gratitude Challenge 2023

Hello, Friends!

As you might know, I usually try to do some sort of gratitude challenge around this time of year. I admit, though, sometimes I am on the fence about it. Life can be stressful and busy. So it’s easy to come up with excuses on why I can’t do it or don’t have time.

(To all my friends who post daily on a regular basis – you’re amazing! 😁)

However, the reasons for doing a gratitude challenge outweigh the reasons not to. For starters, I know I will be glad I did it, because I always am.

And I think that when it comes to doing something like this, the enemy will try to steer us in the wrong direction. The same applies to things like fasting, tithing, witnessing, volunteering, or anything that God wants us to do for His Kingdom or for our own spiritual growth.

And with life being stressful and busy, I believe a gratitude challenge is needed.

So with all that being said, the gratitude challenge will run through the month of November. I will post each day, but the posts will be short since we all have packed calendars.

The posts will contain a verse from the Psalms, a short prayer, gratitude, and some days might include a praise song as well.

If you can join in, I welcome you and look forward to our journey together. If you can’t join every day, that’s okay! However, you might still practice gratitude daily offline.

I’m looking forward to it. I hope this will help each of us to build our trust in the Lord, as we take time to see how much He is always there for us.

That’s all for today. I hope you have a peaceful weekend.

  5. I remember your gratitude challenge from last year, Bridget. It’s what inspired me to buy a copy of all of your books! I look forward to it. You’re right, hats off to the daily posters. It’s hard to write good content day after day. Blessings, sister!

  7. Daily postings IS a supreme challenge to undertake, Bridget! Since I’m retired, it’s much easier for me to keep a daily gratitude journal. (I began in 2017.) Some entries are just one line. But the greatest benefit comes from reviewing the day (to decide what to write) and remembering God’s goodness–morning noon, and night!

  10. I look forward to your posts!! I admire those who post daily… I just can’t seem to lol
    When you say the reasons to do something outweigh the reasons not to, in your case blogging your gratitude journey, I feel that way sometimes about going places like BSF – I always feel better when I go, ESPECIALLY the times I don’t want to. I get so much out of it and then I’m renewed for next time. 🙂
    Thanks for sharing!

    • Yes! I know exactly what you mean about going places like BSF. Sometimes we have to push past the doubts… I know you will be busy in November, so don’t worry if you are unable to read all the gratitude challenge posts. ♥️
