Just thinking about a few things. It's a crazy life....always something to do, places to go, and people to see. But when do we stop to really focus on the good things life brings us? Sure, we think about them during our prayers, and at night when we tuck our children into bed, and in the morning when we've had a few minutes without the kids awake to actually think things through, but seriously. We have so many things to be thankful for, and are we taking those things/people/for granted? I hope not, but for the most part we do! WE are all guilty of it.
I am thankful for LOTS of things our God has provided my heart and mind with. Even in hard times, like now, it's so easy for me to be reminded that I have so much to be thankful for. Afterall, "It is God's gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil" - Ecclesiastes 3:13
It is God who provides us with what we have. Nothing and no-one more. Not our jobs (or lack of), our money (or lack of), not our material things (or lack of), it's HIM! He provides us with what we need, (food, water, )and He provides us with the strength to persevere our Faith through our toils.
Let us not forget the good in our lives, the love we have, and opportunities we need to contemplate. Even through our hard times, God has reminded me of so many things, through His word, His work, and the many small messages I hear Him sharing with me, I am able to look up and out, and know that I have so much to be thankful for. I hope you do too.
Count your blessings, and be aware of them too!
