I saw at Mocha With Linda‘s today that Leah at South Breeze Farm is hosting a Giving Thanks Challenge in which participants are asked to post one thing they are thankful for each day of November, either in blog posts or on a sidebar or a combination.You can find more information here and sign up or visit participants here.
I agree with Leah that though we want to cultivate a thankful spirit, it doesn’t just happen unless we’re intentional about it, so I am joining in this year. I think I will do a combination: I’ll create a list on my sidebar and may just post there, but if I want to expound a little more I’ll make a blog post about it as well. I’m sure the things I am thankful for will range from the important to the mundane, the serious to the silly, but I am thankful for each!
So for this first day I am thankful for God, Who made me, saved me, and keeps me.

Since I’m not doing the Random Dozen any longer, I’m going to give this a try, too, Barbara! 🙂
It won’t require as much time as the RD, which I was having difficulty keeping up with! But I did love it and appreciated Linda putting it out there for us and I made several new blogging friends, which is definitely the best part!
Soooo….I’m going to go and get started being thankful!!! 🙂
I’m doing this also.

First I am ever and always thankful for God and for Jesus who paid for my life by giving his own.
I too am so thankful for God who made me, saved me, and keeps me!!
I’m looking forward to following along with you this month!
I do believe this one goes without saying for me too. I am very intentional in my thanks. I give thanks in my prayer journal every day. I would DO this meme… but lately I’m not even getting around to posting – much less visiting my “regulars” on a regular basis… I just can’t commit to visiting a lot of other “thankful people” right now! 😦 Sad… but true.
This is a wonderful thing to do. I think I’ll be participating as well.
