Time to be Thankful


Hey everyone! So in my daily devotions this morning, I was greatly challenged to start being more thankful! It's so easy to be ungrateful, or take for granted the things in life which God gives us. To fix my perspective on being thankful, I'm going to write down a list of things that God has blessed me with, whether it be the little things or the big things and keep it with me so that when I go through a hard time I can remember to stay thankful even through the “fire”. Now, keep it mind that God has blessed us with SO MUCH that I could never write them all down. This is just a fun exercise to keep my perspective right on track.

  • My family
  • My friends
  • Shelter
  • Food
  • Good drinking water
  • A Shower
  • Heat for the winter
  • A.C for the summer
  • my car
  • gas money for my car
  • Nice clothes
  • My kittie cats
  • The access to good solid books
  • The ability to worship freely
And that's only a few, I could seriously go on and on.....but you wouldn't enjoy reading all of that. Go try this, and see if you can keep your thankful spirit with you throughout the day. Yes, times are hard and sometimes it's difficult to find something to be thankful for. But guess what? There is ALWAYS something. Always. God is good, all the time. He never changes, and He never leaves you. Now, if you can't be thankful for that, then you've got some issues. Cause that is the best thing of all.

God bless and blog soon
