Remembering To Be Thankful In Life...
In the midst of going through life’s ups and downs we sometimes
forget to be thankful for the things that are right in front of us.
We are so bogged down and focused on all that is wrong that we
forget all that we have been and are blessed with.
Thankful Thursday amidst all other days can serve as a
reminder to be thankful for all things regardless of what challenges we are faced
with at the moment. One thing, we can
always count on is that trouble doesn’t last always.
A great way to remember to be thankful amidst our trials and
tribulations is to remember the countless times God has brought you through previous
challenges. This will always serve as a reminder to be thankful that you are
still standing from previous challenges, therefore, you will still be standing
in the mist of present challenges and thereafter.
When I begin to think of complaining about the challenges that
I am faced with, I tend to give myself a reality check. I think back on all of
the times I made it through. I didn’t get through it by myself. That is when I begin
to give thanks profusely.
Giving myself a reality check not only helps me to remember to
be thankful for the past, present and the future, it also helps me to remember
that while I think my storm is big, there is always someone’s storm that is much
bigger. I’ve seen it all too often. And, this is what brings me back to be
thankful that through it all I am still standing.
If you find yourself complaining and not giving thanks, do a
reality check on yourself. Sometimes that’s all we need to show us that we need
to be appreciative and thankful because after all, things could be so much
worse then what it truly is!
