Hi everyone, I’m Marquis from Simply Clarke. A few months ago, Max preached on the ABC’s of Gratitude and giving God thanks for things in our life. I loved it so much that I came home and made my own list. I really wanted to share this with all of you because I think its a great tool to turn our attitudes around on “bad days” and just meditate on all things God has blessed us with that we can be thankful for in life. My list is below, feel free to leave a few “letters” of thankfulness in the comments. I would love to read a few of your “letters” and just share in being thankful! Also, I would love to have you over at my blog following along. Check it out :)
