Often times we find ourselves complaining, wining and seeing life from "our cup is half full" perspective. We live in a bubble that allows us to think and believe we are short-changed. We do practice gratitude, but here and there. Every now and then. And perhaps when something major happens and we realized just how blessed we are.
However, this shouldn't be the case. We ought to be thankful more often. Thanksgiving should be on our daily routine. When we wake up we can be;
Thankful we are awake
Thankful we can eat
Thankful we can talk
Thankful we can write
Thankful we can drink
Thankful we can see
Thankful we can hear
Thankful we have in our lives (regardless of how they may be towards us sometimes)
Thankful for that job
Thankful for that spouse / fiancé(e)
Thankful for a roof over our heads
Thankful for the children we have and those we never got to have
Thankful for the rain
Thankful for the sun
Thankful for the clothes we get to wear
Thankful for God's favor, mercy and grace
Thankful in the midst of that trial and tribulation
We don't have to wait until Thanksgiving to remind ourselves of the things we ought to be thankful for. We are to be grateful in all things and for all things, period!
Take a look at your life and start practicing gratitude, you never know what's just around the corner!
