Guess what is in just 5 DAYS?!?! Besides it being November 1st, National Author’s Day (Well, hey! 😃💁🏼♀️✒️📘), National Cook For Your Pets Day (Um, sorry, but that’s not happening! 🙃), National Men Make Dinner Day (you hear that, guys? 👋🏻😄), National Cinnamon Day (I’ll take some apples with that! 🍎🍂), ect. etc. (who knew there were so many National holidays?), it’s…
DAY 1 OF THE {THIRD ANNUAL} IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS CHALLENGE!!! 🤗🍁🍂🍁
How did that get here so fast!? 😱 I always look forward to this special time of taking a whole month to focus on giving thanks to God for everything He has given us, because it all comes from Him! ❤️ The Psalmist says that “it is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.” (Psalm 92:1) And while we are to give thanks to God every day (Psalm 145:2), it’s really refreshing to have a focused time of giving thanks.
There are going to be a few new rules this year, so pay close attention! There will also be an optional Give Thanks Scripture memorization plan, and a giveaway, which I’ll be sharing more about soon!!
What is it?
Every day, write down 5 or more things you are thankful for. Now for the last two years, I posted them online every day, but that just got to be a little much. 😓 This year, we will still be writing out our list everyday on our own, BUT only posting online once a week. The weekly posts will be every Thursday, and will consist of highlights from the thankfuls we wrote down that week (because posting all 35 thankfuls would be a bit much, too. 😜)
Where?
The weekly Thankful Thursday posts will be here on the blog, and also on Instagram and Facebook. If you are posting on social media, use the hashtag #InEverythingGiveThanksChallenge so I can see your posts!
When?
November 1-30
(You’ll start writing your daily thankfuls down on the 1st, and the first Thankful Thursday post will be on November 3rd)
Leave a comment below if you are going to join us in this challenge or if you have any questions! Also, to start us off a little early, what is one thing you are thankful for today? 🧡 I am thankful for the Lord giving me my life and breath today!

Yes, it kind of snuck up on me this year. 🙊 Yay! So glad you’re going to join us again! I think the weekly posting will make it a little easier to keep up with; I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before! 🙃
Amen! SO thankful for such a kind, patient Heavenly Father who gives us so much grace and mercy each new day! ❤️

I would like to join too! So for now, starting Nov 1 I’ll write 5 things I’m thankful for. Should I write it on a notebook or digital? where would I send my thankfuls, would I send you the highlights I choose or will you read through all 35 every week? Or is it that I’m supposed to post 5 highlights from my thankfuls each week on some sort of blog? sorry for all the questions.
I’m thankful for my kind sweet mom.

Great! Correct, you’ll write down five things you’re thankful for each day. And it’s totally up to you how you record them. 🙂 I personally like using a notebook. As far as the weekly posts, every Thursday (starting Nov. 3) I’ll do a post here on the blog, and you can comment on those posts some of the things (however many you want!) from your list that week. Hope that clears up your questions!
Aw! Mothers are so wonderful! 🥰

I would like to participate. I saw your posts from last year and thought it was a good reminder! Today I am glad that God doesn’t put anyone who trusts Him concerning any matter to shame for that trust.
