the gratitude challenge

the wife decided to participate in the gratitude challenge as a part of her 7 days of prayer and fasing.  I thought I would try it out.  we first heard about this through our good friend Samantha’s blog.

Here is the assignment for day 1:  Use the alphabet as a fun and quick format for taking an inventory and making your list of things your are grateful for.  Share this list with your social network.
