Thanksgiving Challenge – What are you thankful for? – 2016-11-24
|
I am thankful for the holidays. That season that draws families and hearts closer together. I am thankful that we can see our loved ones face to face – even when they are not here, how precious to be able to skype or viber when the miles separate us. I am so very thankful for family and friends – those precious gems in our life that bring such joy… I am thankful that no matter the distance, love can bridge the gap… I am thankful… “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1. I choose to honor the giver of those gifts, who gave them in spite of who I am, not because of who I am and I am so very thankful. I am thankful, by choosing daily to let go of negativity, bitterness and worry and focus on God’s mercy and blessings… I am thankful God gave me the gift of choice. Thankfulness is the choice I have made… I choose God, I choose an attitude of gratitude… I am thankful that when I lose focus, or am tired, God steps in and carries me until I am strong enough to walk again… that even when I am unable to see beyond today, God is building a magnificent tomorrow, and that He does not give up on us even when we grow weary. I am thankful for His amazing love. |
