God Winks in being thankful!
This week is thanksgiving and I am sure that if I open my eyes I will see God wink many times. I pray my eyes are open. There is always something for which to be thankful.
Can you already see things for which you could give thanks? In the last week, month, or year? Could you list them quickly?
Looking back over the last year, I have much for which I am thankful. I will list several:
1) Our blog started in February as God surrounded me with the people that would share my vision and the labor. Thank you Katie, Tina and Khloe.
2) I continued to grow personally in my own journey of finding my identity and security in my Father's love.
3) My boys are healthy.
4) My husband lost his job and God quickly provided a new job where he is thriving in his strengths.
5) I found a group of women in Women's Empowerment Univerisity that share my passion for being used by God and sharing Him with those around us through the minisitries He has given.
6) I have more than one woman I call a true girlfriend that is a safe place for me, truly I am blessed!
7) God taught me He is my first love and through that truth I am free to love others unconditionally.
8) I have a wonderful home that I can share with others through hospitality, which I enjoy! I am told I can make a pretty good meal!! I have a few 9 year old boys that love my spaghetti, so I am told.
9) I have a committed husband who is a loving and wonderful father to our boys.
10) I have a career through which I can exercise my gifts and share my faith freely. I am able to have the flexibility to live out my values and grow as a person.
WOW...I could go on, truly....but I am blessed beyond measure. I know life is hard, my family and I have had our share this past year, but we have each other and I am grateful. I know your life might be hard right now, but I pray you will see something for which to be thankful. I heard it said that each day might not be good but there is good in each day. What good can you find today?
I challenge you to list at least (more if you can) five things for which you are thankful and see if your attitude changes. I didn't say your circumstances would change right away, but your attitude just might. As your attitude changes by thinking about all the good, your circumstances might just change as well.
Blessings to you and your family and Happy Thanksgiving!!
