To type this on the very day we celebrate"Thanksgiving" seems sad to me. This sadness is because there is so much to be grateful for. A lot of times we just take all of the blessings, people and stuff we have for granted. This is the place where it starts. We have grown accustomed to our life the way it is. So often the only time we wake up is when suddenly something changes. Our eyes are wide open to the reality of what we had, how good is really was. The scales have fallen from our eyes. After the initial shock wears down, we may ask our self over and over, why we didn't appreciate everything? You know as well as I do, how we always think things can be better. But we never consider for a moment that they could be so much worse. That is, until it happens to us. What a down right shame things have to change for us to wake up and be grateful for how it is right now. Today, not later or whenever things are the way we want them to be.
Today, Thanksgiving Day 2013, I want to encourage you to count your blessings. Yeah, just like the songs says," name them one by one". Don't do it just today! Do it everyday from now on. This one little habit can change your life. It can move it from, taken for granted to grateful for everything. God uses grateful hearts to change His world. He uses a grateful heart to make life better, for you and for others. Today, choose to be grateful by applying His grace to all.
Happy Thanksgiving Life to You!!!
