Thanksgiving Challenge, Day 1
I feel like I'm jumping on the bandwagon by doing a "30 Days of Thankfulness" theme in November. I could try to defend myself by claiming that I had the idea before everyone and her mother was doing it on Facebook, or I could just admit that it's not a bad wagon to be on and join the band, so to speak!
I was going to pick 30 random (but mostly meaningful) things that I'm thankful for, but a friend and fellow blogger issued the challenge to choose a specific theme, such as a person or situation, and be more purposeful about finding things you're thankful for--to dig a little deeper. You can read her post here. So I decided to focus on the Lord and his character. I feel like I can name some basic attributes of God that I'm thankful for, but I think that it might be a challenge for me to think of 30 things. And that's just sad because he is an amazing God, and I should not get "stuck" when I'm trying to describe his character! I think this month I'd like to get to know him a little better by describing who he is.
So here we go!
Day #1: I'm thankful that God is King and Father.

Gray Hair is . . . .
The Bible study I'm attending this fall is going through the book/video series Read the Bible for Life by George H Guthrie. Basically it's all about how to study the various parts of the Bible. So few Christians, myself included, actually spend regular time in the Bible. This study has helped me realize that my attitude toward Scripture should be one of delight (Psalm 119:14, 18, 40 and many others!), not duty or desire to "get something out of it." God gave me his Word to know him. And I should delight to learn more!
All that brings me to my more specific point.
