As I look back on the year, it inspires me to give thanks for the DFB followers. At times when I didn't know how I would make it, your faithful prayers, love and God's grace, gave my family victory through our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Thank you so much for your loving words of encouragement and remembering to pray for us.
Praying that you all have a peaceful holiday knowing that with God all things are possible as we wait on His glorious timing.

Welcome, Daily Favor Blog, Favored1, Daily Favor Teaching Blog
In
the cooler parts of North America, fall is really settling in and the colors
are revealing their beauty just like they do in upstate New York.
It is with our last teaching series in mind (Waiting for Favor), that reminded me of how blessed we are to be able to enjoy the fruit
of God’s labor of love through Creation no matter what part of the world we choose
to call home.
Recently
I was chatting with a social media friend from Nigeria where he described the
dry, extremely hot season in which they are entering.I know that the natural seasons are
continually changing everywhere, but I am so thankful to live where we can
experience all four of them.
Thanks for joining us on Daily Favor
Blog. Subscribe, read News from Fay, visit the Q & A or other sections.
Thankful
for You
No
matter how I have come to know all of you over the years, I am so appreciative
and feel blessed that you have carved out of your schedules a bit of time to
spend with me throughout the week.Hubby
and I have compassion on your needs, desires and aspirations, mentioning you with
thanksgiving to God in prayer.
“My
prayers for you are full of praise to God as I give Him thanks for you with
great joy!I’m so grateful for our
union.” (Philippians 1:3 TPT)
“Whenever
you cross my mind, I thank my God for you and for the gift of knowing you.”
(Philippians 1:3 VOICE)
I
am extremely thankful for each person that visits, and want to include every
one of you in our “Days of Thanks” challenge during the month of November.For this I will be posting on my Facebook
page. My regular posts will continue here on Daily Favor teaching site.
Getting
to Know You
It
was also in some internet exchanges I learned that many of you didn’t realize I
post on a regular basis on Facebook (that’s when it’s working properly).
Throughout the day and week, I post all sorts
of things that could help you get to know me a little better and vice versa.
Sometimes
it’s personal (a lot of times it includes hubby stuff), movies, photos, what I’m
doing, my food choices, gardening, pets … just about every topic that I’m
experiencing at the time.
That’s
why I’d really like it if you would join my Facebook friends as we venture
out on this Days of Thanks challenge.It
wouldn’t be the same without all of you!
How
the Challenge Works
You’ll probably be online anyway, so
why not take part in giving thanks?Globally
we could be giving praise and thanks to God round the clock!
Here’s how it works.
Each day we (hubby or myself) will
be posting two things we are thankful for, working our way through the alphabet
A-Z.I know that there are only 26
letters in the English alphabet and 30 days in the month, but that just adds to
the challenge doesn’t it?Sometimes I
feel doubly blessed, so perhaps those will be tucked in somewhere as well.
With each post I would like you (and
your friends after you share the post) to add your days of thanks to the list.The more people post the more we are open to
what God is doing throughout the world in the hearts of those who love Him.
For example, if we are on the letter
“C” I might list “cheesecake” or “clothes” as a material/natural side of
thankfulness. Who am I kidding, you all
know it probably would be chocolate first!
You might be thankful for children,
that’s cool too, but be “creative” (that’s a C word). Don’t be shy in giving
thanks for things that make your life better or easier.God has allowed them so let us know how
grateful you are.By the end of the
month we’ll know at least thirty more things about one another.
This step is going to be more challenging. (You might want to start thinking of something for X about now; it may take a month!)For the spiritual part of thanksgiving, I
might write “Christ” or “covenant”.The idea
is pretty straightforward.Each day you
would list a comment under the recent post for the two things beginning with
the letter C that you are thankful for daily.
After you have commented on my Facebook page
(photos on topic are welcome), it is vital that the posts get shared if this testimony
and message about “Days of Thanks” is to reach the most people possible.So many times, we forget about what people
value and we need an awakening to what is happening in the lives of others.
There Is No Secret
Every day I receive messages from
people around the world where they tell me some of the most personal things
they are experiencing.It’s
heartbreaking, but each one receives encouragement when we pray, praise God and
give thanks for the things we do have.
In prayer ... “Grace and peace be with you from
God our Father and the Lord Jesus the Anointed One.
Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to
God. Each exclamation is a trigger to
prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart.
I am so pleased that you have continued
on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message (of salvation and
grace), from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in
my mind that God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring
it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.” (Philippians
1:2-6 MSG)
I am humbled immediately with each
request for prayer knowing that God has good things for those who seek Him with
their whole heart.There is no doubt in
my mind that those who give praise and thanks to the Most High God, will find
His favor.
“For the fountain of life pours into
you every time that you find me (wisdom), and this is the secret of growing in
the delight and the favor of the Lord.” (Proverbs 8:35 TPT)
There’s a chorus to an old song we
sing that sums up the fullness of God’s loving favor on those who will believe
in Jesus Christ as Savior.
It is no secret, what God can do,
What He’s done for others, He’ll do
for you.
With arms wide open, He’ll pardon
you.
It is no secret, what God can do.
What is the secret?Wisdom.That is, wisdom in receiving God’s grace … His unmerited favor to
forgive sin, any and all confessed sin.Admitting
sin to God for things you have committed against Him, and asking for His
forgiveness releases the gift of favor on a person’s life.Only those who have done this receive God’s
favor, grace and blessings.
In reality, there isn’t a secret to receiving
God’s favor. He has made it clear in His
Word, we just have to do it.
“If we freely admit that we have
sinned and confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just (true to His own
word, nature and promises), and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually
from all unrighteousness (things we do wrong, everything that does not conform to
His will and Divine purpose).” (1 John 1:9 AMP emphasis mine)
I have obeyed Christ and not kept my
salvation secret. As a result, the Tell Me About Jesus page is one of the most
visited on this site.It was after one
of those visits I received a message.
This is a question someone from
Twitter recently asked, “What has He (referring to Jesus) done for others
including me?” A reasonable inquiry I
thought.
God has forgiven me of my sins
because I admitted (to Him) I was in need of a Savior.Jesus forgave me of all my wrong doing
setting me free from the sins, guilt and unrighteous behavior of my past or any
that I may commit in the future.
Plus, with the saving grace of
salvation came the gift of eternal life and loving Daily Favor from the Lord.
Every day we get to start over, or as Anne
Shirley from Anne of Green Gables said, “Tomorrow is always fresh with no
mistakes in it”.
Although that was a line from a story, it’s true because His mercy and favor
are freshly replenished to me every morning.For this I can never give enough thanks to God,
“But
this I recall and therefore have I hope and expectation:It is because of the Lord’s mercy and
loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His (tender) compassion fails not.They are new every morning; great
and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:21-23 AMPC)
Christ
is willing to forgive us of sin, isn’t that something to be thankful for and
not keep secret?If He is willing to do
it for me, He will forgive you too if you ask Him.Learn how on the Tell Me page like so many
others have.
This Week’s Challenge:
Sharing Days of Thanks
With
the holiday we celebrate called Thanksgiving, we often get caught up in the
meals or gatherings.
This year I don’t
want us to forget that each day we are alive, God's grace allows us to partake in His
Daily Favor through so many resources that are made available. We are to use them for His glory.
Sharing
thirty Days of Thanks is hardly a tip in the gratitude bucket, but I feel we
have to start somewhere together.Please
join me each day in November on my Facebook page for this challenge.
Let’s
publicly take part in proclaiming the message of thanksgiving to God for His
unmerited Daily Favor.The Days of
Thanks start now!

I know the plans I have for you." Jeremiah 29:11.

one another." John 13:34.
