Why I'm Posting

I don't know why this blog is here.
This is my blog.  I created it.  But I can't remember why it was created or much else about its creation.  The profile section says I created the blog in May 2005, and the title of the blog, "The Least of These" reveals that I was thinking of Matthew 25 and service to the poor when I started the blog.  Still, I stand by my opening statement.
Two weeks ago, the daily email from gratefulness.org consisted of the following quote from Sarah Ban Breathnach's Simple Abundance: "You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you."
Then yesterday in her sermon, our minister spoke of a Lenten discipline of listing daily the things for which one is thankful.
If Lent is a season of fasting, then today is part of a season of feasting.  I will feast on appreciation and God's comfort.  When Lent arrives next year, I will be so disciplined that my complete fast from all complaining and worry will be natural.
I hope to write daily of a few specific things for which I have been grateful in that day.  We will see how long I can maintain my pace.  I hope I can at least make it the two months that Sarah Ban Breathnach promises will transform me.  But even if it is only for a few days, I will be grateful for what those few days of conscious gratitude bring to me.
This single post is written for my own benefit and as a reminder to me for my own personal accountability.  The medium of a blog allows me to create a personal daily journal.  If you have somehow stumbled on this blog, welcome.  So far as I know, Suzette and I are the only ones aware of this blog.  It isn't a secret...but it has been completely blank now for six years.  My prayer is that there will be something here that will cause you to give thanks.
