November of Thanksgiving 5

You can get this button from Lisa of Lisa Notes.

Nathan Bingham suggests that we pray the gospel, and that one way to pray the gospel is to thank God for elements of the gospel. I’m taking his advice, so today I am thankful that there is a righteousness of God through faith in Christ Jesus, which is good news in a world where everyone is a sinner, and good news for me, because I am a sinner. I’m thankful that God justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Others thanking God today:

Update 8:30pm PDT:

What are you thankful for today?

I’ll be back this evening to add any more thanksgiving posts I find (or that you point me to). As more people participate, it gets more likely that I’ll make mistakes in my posting, so if I miss your post or mess up a link, please tell me. And remember, if you miss a day or two, you’ll need to give me a heads up on your next thanksgiving post.

Do you want to participate, too? You’ll find instructions here for the ways both bloggers and nonbloggers can join in the thanksgiving.

Good afternoon!
Just got my thanksgiving post up for day 5:http://motheroftwo-jenmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/month-of-thanksgiving-day-5.html
Didn't quite make it up before the little ones in my house so no time to post this morning! God is good though; He and I had a divine appointment in the middle of the grocery store!

Hey! I began doing Thankful Thursdays back in July, and it has truly helped me live more positively. As soon as I saw "November of Thanksgiving", I knew I wanted to do it. I will try to write a blog every day. =) I wrote a thankful blog today before knowing about this, so that works out very well. I'll link you to today's post.

Thanks for doing this!!

Thank you for directing us to Nate's blog. That was great. I loved what he said about alarm bells going off if we aren't confessing particular sins.
I too am thankful for the righteousness of Christ -
Blessings!
