LIVING Your Life - Thanksgiving
We've all had those days when you hear something or see something that makes you look at your life and be thankful. It doesn't have to be you narrowly missing a bad accident or staring in the face of naked danger. It can be as simple as spring after a long, dark winter or as profound as a deadly natural disaster. Those moments that cause you to take a few seconds to say "God thank you."
The times when you are truly grateful that you have something that others need. When you realize that everyday really is a gift. A new day is an opportunity to improve, to change yourself in new ways, to be kinder, to pray more, to laugh instead of frown. Many people are frustrated by things they cannot change. Then you realize that God causes the sun to shine on both the "good" and the bad - that is to say, we all have life and therefore time and chances. We are fortunate just to have another day. Another time to breathe deeper and appreciate the many advantages that you have. Even if it's peace at home or a genuine reason to smile.
Let's today be thankful. In whatever situation you find yourself in, there are many others who are longing for that very set of circumstances because it would be a relief compared to their reality.
"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Live your life with a thankful heart. It instantly improves your days and how you live.
