My first linky is coming {woo hoo}



I've been wanting to do this for a long time:

Start a linky that takes place at the end of every month, where we take time to say THANKS.

God blesses us so much. I've wanted to begin this practice here on my blog of taking one day a month to reflect on His goodness to us. (Does your heart need this like mine does?) My idea was that it would be at the end of the month so as to close out and begin a new one in gratefulness. I desire to be more intentional about looking back, taking a little inventory of the good and the bad, and remembering how He walked me through so that I can start a new month knowing I am in His hands.

I saw this term yesterday and I thought it was perfect.

Thanks-living. It's exactly what I want to practice.

Maybe you've been experiencing God's comfort in a hard season. Maybe your baby started sleeping through the night or God brought a bit of healing to a relationship. Will you think about it with me? In what ways can you say thanks and acknowledge the Lord's work in and through your life?

Friday is the 31st, the last day in August. I'll be hosting a link up right here and posting about the simple ways I've experienced God's blessings and presence in our lives this past month. This month, it will probably be about summer and the memories we've made as a family. Your post could be as simple as a photo, a visual of what you are grateful for. Certainly something from this past month inspires you to give Him glory.
I'll try to have a button for you before Friday as well, so you can add it to your post. I'm excited for this, friends. I can't wait to hear how God has been good to you!

  5. I love this! We need more gratitude in our lives, we need to stop and celebrate the ways God has met us, has seen us through, has showed up...not just in the big events of life but in the everyday. What a great idea!
