New Year's Eve... A time to reflect on the past year and anticipate what's in store for the year ahead. What am I reflecting on? God's faithfulness with The Thankfulness Experiment. I'm just in awe of what He's done... Over 6,000 reasons for being thankful, how He faithfully provides me with words each day, what He has taught me, and how He continues to bless me each day, whether I am being obedient or not. I wonder what you have learned so far...
As you reflect on 2012, make sure to look through the lens of thankfulness. Even through our toughest trials, God promises to never leave us or forsake us. My prayer for you tonight is that you will see God's fingerprints all over 2012 and that you will continue to see His fingerprints in 2013.
Tonight, I am thankful for...
