A deliberate refocussing …Be Thankful

Those that are thankless are blind to the many good things in their lives…

Sometimes it is because they have been hurt and wounded by life.

Some are so captured by the ‘tinsel’ of life, that they cannot appreciate the gold.

Some are trapped in a survival for existence, and their lives are days of endless toil.

Some do not want to look deeply into life and frantically seek distraction in work and endless entertainment.

Perhaps being thankful does not come naturally to us, we become complacent…

However,

We can CULTIVATE thankfulness, teach ourselves to see the reasons to be thankful each day.

Each new day to live, and love, is a gift from God, so let us be thankful.

 All that our eyes can see in nature, is created by God, so let us be thankful.

All new life is a promise filled with possibilities, so let us be thankful.

All pain and sorrow can build character, so let us be thankful.

Each person has in their soul the image of God, so let us be thankful.

Each failure is an unforgettable lesson in wisdom, so let us be thankful.

Each compassionate, loving act, makes God’s kingdom come, so let us be thankful.

Each departing soul leaves their mark upon this earth, so let us be thankful.

Each man, woman, child is precious in God’s sight, so let us be thankful.

God loved us so much that He came to earth to tell us of His love, so let us be thankful.
