Are you thankful? I don't mean are you feeling thankful, but are you truly thankful in your heart? It's easy to give thanks and be grateful when things are going well, but what about when everything it's not? Can you say, " I am blessed" when everything is falling apart? While it's really hard to understand why things happen, we need to understand that it doesn't change God's goodness. If anything, be thankful for that. Be thankful that you woke up this morning because every breath is truly a blessing, ( even when it hurts to just breathe) and has a purpose. When we stop and focus on what is right in our lives, it makes the wrong a little less daunting. We tend to focus on all of our problems and miss wonderful memories in the making, chances to laugh, blessings in disguise and we miss those around us who are hurting as well. Be thankful that you have something someone else needs right now. It may be a shoulder to cry on, the ability to help pay a bill, a listening ear, good advice or just a smile that has the power to save someone. So this Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for? Look around you and don't forget to look up. Don't miss out on helping another hurting soul because you are too busy worrying and stressing out. I know it's easy. I know our human tendencies lean toward the negative sometimes. We worry over things that we can't change and things that God is already taking care of. It's what we do. Thank God He doesn't do that and He doesn't love us any less because we do. When nothing seems good in life, remember He is good! He loves you more than you know or understand and He is there with you through it all. If you ever need someone to talk to or just have a question, please feel free to contact me! Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
