I am Thankful for
My Husband
My Children
My Family
My Friends
My Church
My Car
My Home
My School
The windows and screens at my home
My toothbrush
The soap/detergent we use
The hangers in our closets
Doors/doorknobs in our homes and cars
The computer I do my school work on
The garage, the garage door, and the opener
Running water
Heat
Air Conditioning
Gas
The fans in almost every room in our house
The spoons/forks/knives we use daily
The trees/grass/sky/cloud
The rain/snow/wind
and the list goes on.
In other words, I am thankful for life and everything in it. The fact that I have a bed to lay in is only because of Jesus!
I am guilty of sometimes taking things for granted as well. Almost as if I deserve this. Yet, everything I own belongs to the Almighty. Yes, I have worked hard for the things I have, but ultimately, He provided the job, He provided the meal, He provided!
The Bible says,
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.”
Psalms 100:4-5 NLT
So today, I challenge you to thank God for everything you put your hands on. Let today be the start of your new gratitude journey unto the Lord.
And if you find yourself in a trial today, thank God for that too. Trust me, it might not make sense now, but when you are on the other side of things, you'll thank God for the spiritual growth and the improvement of your character. Not to mention, the fact that He was with you the entire time.
Y'all, let thanksgiving be every day, for we are a blessed people.
