When I read lately, it seems to be everywhere about giving thanks. I watched Oprah yesterday and how she had to learn in every situation to give thanks. her Aunt told her it was the most important way to get out of the doldrums - there is!
I agree. When I also read in Jesus Calling, how He talked to Sarah Young daily it seems, about giving me praise for everything keeps your mind closed to junk. Dark and evil things. He loves it when we praise and honor Him with that focus in mind.
I Thess 5: 16-18
Be happy (in your faith) and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always). Be unceasing in prayer (praying perseveringly); Thank (God) in everything (no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks), for this is the will of God for you (who are) in Christ Jesus (the Revealer and Mediator of that will).
Try a thank you journal and write it in everyday. Yo would be surprised at what happens.
I am thankful for all my readers of this blog, you keep me thinking and stretching.
I am thankful for my husband and love how he is my biggest fan even after 44 years of marriage and the 5 years before we got married.
I am thankful to God for the incredible friends he has sent my way. It is breathtaking.
I am thankful for all the medical care-takers He has introduced me to - without them I wouldn't be walking and this is literal.
I am thankful for the career path He sent me on and how it has taken me on oh so many journeys.
I am so thankful for the "things" He has allowed me to take care of for Him. Our home and everything in it.
I am thankful for the animals He has sent me, they just get better, how does that work - it is God?
I could go on and on. You see what I mean.
Be thankful anyway.
Read Romans 4: 17.
