With all the election results in, I was naively thinking that Facebook would be safe to visit again. Ouch, this morning things are ugly. Ugly, ugly, ugly! Frankly I am saddened and shocked to see the hateful words my Christian friends are posting. While I believe everyone has the right to speak their political minds, I also believe that as representatives of Christ we are called to represent a higher standard of living than just cheap hate.
So... this is an invitation.
Will you join me in posting each day on Facebook one thing that you are thankful for, and will you join me in making that your ONLY posts for the rest of November?
I have been formatting my like this:
Month of Thanks- Day X: what I am thankful for.
There has been something so joyful to me about doing this each day. I get onto Facebook, read a whole bunch of negative comments and then thrown out some glory to God. It makes me smile.
I'll warn you that it's hard to pick just one thing a day. Once you start counting your blessings, it's hard to stop. God works that way. The more we turn to Him with hearts full of Thanksgiving, the more blessing rain down.
Many people are already doing this and it is amazing to read. Let's multiple it and plaster Facebook with thanks given to our amazing God.
If you are not friends with The Celebrated Family on Facebook, please friend us, and share your Month of Thanks postings. I look forward to reading them!
Will you join me in a Month of Thanks?
