JULY FOR GRATITUDE At the beginning of this year, one of my very good friends gifted me these 3 hand made/personalised throw pillows spelling: #BLESSED - #DEBRAJANE - #GRATEFUL Halfway through the year, I started to get anxious about what the future holds for me. Whilst pouring my fears out on to a listening heart, my friend said to me: “Dee, don’t be too busy chasing what you don’t have to forget what you have. Do you know how much you have achieved? How many people your age are running businesses and are able to pay workers? Look at the number of people you have given jobs to in your life and paid them? The impact you have created! You have raised so many leaders. You have done so well for yourself Dee. Your 40th should be about Gratitude” I sighed and said “you are right! Why am I so nervous?” Mind you earlier in the say I was speaking to an older lady friend who said “If your life was different, you wont be who you are, impacting so many people in different ways. God is using you to fulfil His purpose. Dont start searching for alternatives” The very next day, I told a friend who said I am living my best life that “The best is yet to come” and her response was: “A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles”. On 1st July, another friend’s status hit me with “You can be anything you want in this world just don’t be “ungrateful” At this point, I knew God was speaking to me so loudly. Telling me to stop being anxious, to stop looking outside my scope and be Grateful. July’s theme can only be one thing…GRATITUDE. It has hit me so hard, singing this song for the rest of the year. January 2022 is already down to be #StillGrateful for that is how I plan on starting the new year which ushers in a new decade in my life. #GratitudeD40 The #2021MonthlyThemes so far have been: #JanuaryOfVictory | #OvercomeInFebruary | #ChangeInMarch | #AprilOfPurpose | #MayOfDeclaration | #RevalueJune #HappyNewMonth #July #July2021 #2021 #Gratitude #Gratefulness #Grateful #Thankful #Thankfulness #ThinkMahoganyMonthlyThemes #ThinkMahogany #DebraJane #IYWWDJ #JulyForGratitude (at THINK MAHOGANY EVENTS BY DEBRA-JANE) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ1_p_nLtc4/?utm_medium=tumblr
