Good Morning, My Friends! I hope you are having a blessed THANKFUL THURSDAY so far and I pray that your entire day is blessed with God’s blessings, mercy and favor. God is so good. All the time.
The best way to start and end each day is with a thankful heart.
You may be feeling sad, bad, unhappy or fearful. If you can reach down in your heart and find thankfulness, you will start to feel better. Even if it is just thankfulness for waking up, be thankful you woke up this morning. If you have water to drink, food to eat, clothes to wear, be thankful. Yes, you could have more. But it could also be a whole lot worse. If you are reading this, you have a phone, a tablet, a desktop or other device that you are reading from. Be thankful.
I am thankful for small things, big things and all the in-between things. I am thankful for it all…everything that is my life!
It never fails. Whenever I start having the “poor, pitiful me” feeling, I always see someone who has it much worse. Whenever I hear from someone who is struggling with a terminal illness, who has some type of addiction in their family or who is at risk of losing their home, I know just how blessed I am. And I thank God.
Being thankful is a way of life. It’s being thankful that you woke up, thankful that you have a home, food, water and clothes to wear. It means you are thankful for just being here. You are thankful for life. It means you are thankful for the little things, as well as the big things. Living a thankful life means that even though your circumstances are bad, you are still thankful. You are thankful that better days are coming and God has a miracle for you.
Sending you love, blessings and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
Charity M. Richey-Bentley
