As you scroll through your Twitter timeline, it's highly likely that you can separate the tweets you see into categories as follows:
1) Countdown to Christmas
2) Black Friday advertisements
3) Complaints about school
4) Complaints about work
5) Complaints about the government
6) Complaints about the constant complaining
There are undoubtedly a few other categories depending on who you are, where you are from, and who you follow, but if you were to pull, say, the 20 most recent tweets from your timeline, a heavy majority of them would fall into one the aforementioned categories.
Wherever you are, whoever you are, whatever you are doing, I have a challenge for you this Thanksgiving. Let's start a trend so big people all over the world can add a new category to the list. On Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and whatever else the kids are using these days, take a few seconds to post what you are thankful for this year. Spread the word. Tell your friends, family, and co-workers. Share this blog or summarize it. Do whatever you can to get out the message that we are content right here, right now with all that God has given us. We don't need to complain or count down to a better time because in this moment each one of us is blessed beyond belief.
Will you accept the challenge? Tweet, post, and share right now. Let's make God's provision a trend.
