I have so much to be thankful for, but how often do I even think about it?
I know it is cliche - We have so much to be thankful for. But, honestly, how often do we really think and mediate on all we should be thankful for? The answer for me: Not nearly enough.
It shouldn't take us watching the news, hearing of a tragedy from a friend or reading a gloomy post on Facebook to reflect on all God has given us. We should think about these things daily, constantly through our thoughts and prayer.
How different would our lives look if we focused more on the things we are grateful for rather than the things we're just not happy with or things we wished we could change. How differently would we see things? People? Situations? The World? Not only would we see these in a new light, we would also experience God in a new, amazing way. Being truly thankful in all things would transform us. Can you imagine the ripple effect true thankfulness would have?!
Our lives would be immensely different and completely changed if we were
consistently, truly thankful. Transformation in us and around us would
be inevitable!
I am striving to be more thankful, to make thankfulness a purposeful, intentional, every day way of life.
Give thanks to the Lord. For He is good. His mercy endures forever. Psalm 107:1
