Because this is the day that the Lord has made (Ps 118:24) we should be rejoicing and be glad in it and it is the will of God to be thankful.. (1 Thess 5:18)
We should always train ourselves to spot the wildflowers in the wilderness and that is the secret to counting it all joy. In times of hardships is where we see those little blessings that He wanted us to be thankful for.
It is easy to thank God when things are good but the command isn't just to be grateful when we are all well, but in ALL circumstances. This doesn't mean to be thankful FOR what's happening or the hardships, but thankful IN whatever state we are in.
When we shift our focus from pain to blessings, we let ourselves shift from earthly to heavenly.
Today I am grateful for:
No early work so I am staying in bed.
The book I am reading!
More reading time
Family's complete
I can just get up and eat every morning
Will Reagan's In the Morning
Retuned my guitar and sang
The wellness and safety He gives to that person, and strength to even pray for..
For the teaching to love beyond pain and understanding
For learning to drive four wheels
For learning to drive four wheels
