This is the seventh in a series of short posts I’m writing between now and Thanksgiving to develop the habit of daily thankfulness.  If you’d like to challenge yourself too, write a prayer of thanks in the comments below.  

I’m thankful today for the time change over the weekend. I needed that hour back in my mornings to give me some breathing room so that I feel less rushed and pressured to get everyone out the door. I’m thankful for the times when God gives me unexpected space to think, relax and just be.

God,

Thank You for the extra hour this weekend and for all the times You’ve surprised me by opening up space in my day to breathe. Thank You for rest and that You value my being more than my doing.

Thanks,

Jason

When was the last time God gave you some extra in your day?
