Be Thankful For All That You Have Been Given In Your Life
I was blessed with excellent, kind, and caring parents. I am blessed to have been born in the country, as I love living there. I am so grateful to be still able to live on my family farm. I am thankful for all of my cats. I love mowing the yard, gardening, trimming trees, painting, walking outside, and enjoying nature. I am grateful for the rental homes I owned over the years, as I have met many excellent people. I am thankful for all the outstanding tenants I have had and still have.
I Am Grateful For An Illness That Has Changed Me For The Better
I am closer to God now than I ever have been in my life. I was drawn to become a lay minister and a better shepherd to spread God’s word. I can visit with everyone now. I was shy and withdrawn from people before I had my illness. If you are sick, embrace your illness and do not let your condition empower you, as you must empower your disease as one of your strengths to help others. God has a reason for everything, and you must consider why. The reason may be to your benefit in the long run. I will start a conversation with others now as I seldom would before my illness.
Be Thankful For All The People That Have Helped You In Your Life
Remember that you would not be where you are today without all the help you have gotten from family and friends. People you have hired for different jobs that you needed to get done deserve a big vote of thanks, or your life would be in chaos, you may not have heat in your home, your car may not run, etc. Your Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, and many more have helped you so you can contribute more to society. A stranger may have entered your life and significantly impacted your life, leading you to a better and more fulfilling job.
Be Grateful That You Have Food, Clothes, And Shelter.
Many people live in cardboard boxes, or they live in tents, or they have to brave the elements. Be glad you have clothes on your back, for many people do not, and they are cold and uncomfortable. Be happy you had a bountiful harvest; many have nothing to harvest. Many people go to bed hungry every night, and some only have food once a day, or they may only eat once in three days; never take what has been given to you for granted and give thanks and be grateful for what God has provided you.
Be grateful That You Have God By Your Side.
God is by your side night and day, protecting you from life’s storms. I thank God for my many blessings every night when I say my prayers before I sleep. Be grateful to all who cross your path and enrich your life.
