It’s so easy for us to sit around and focus on all the bad things that are happening. That’s just human nature.
A million good things can be happening (like the invisible molecules that make up the oxygen we breathe everyday) but when one thing goes wrong, sadly, it has the potential to take all our joy away. Or should I say, we give it the permission…
Let’s make everyday “Thanksgiving” — not just one day out of the year.
I read in a recent study that just setting aside a few minutes a day to be reminisce about all the things you’re thankful for can go a long way in keeping you healthy and less stressed. And you know what? I believe it!
In church, they put it this way: “When I think about the goodness of Jesus and all he’s done for me…”
Be thankful for…
God’s grace
Life
Health
Ability (…just “the ability to”)
Spouse
Children
Parents
Family
Friends
Career
Music & gifts
Accomplishments
Overcomings
Your testimony!
When you think about all the things that do go right, you will find that the “good” always outweighs the “bad.”
And I’m preaching to myself! After a long day of the website being up and down… up and down yesterday, I could be sitting here sad that so many people were turned away because our website just plainly DIDN’T WORK. But I’m thankful for all the many people that did join and the benefits they are going to receive. I am so “thankful” for YOU ALL!
It’s just a matter of the glass being half “full” or half “empty.” I choose to look at it being half full!
Be thankful everyday! That’s my message to you today!
Happy Thanksgiving…
