On this Thanksgiving eve, I wanted to share this verse. For those who are struggling. For those who are lost. For those who are seeking. For those who are challenged.
And for those who are living their lives, giving thanks every day for each small blessing that falls your way. Breathe. Smile at a stranger. Watch the sun set. Eat chocolate when you feel like it. And appreciate yourself for being unique.
BE THANKFUL
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.
It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Thank you for sharing this Gabi.
It’s been a difficult year for many of us who lost our jobs… careers we worked hard at for 20 plus years!
I am thankful I am free to go for my dreams… and be successful at something I love to do.
Your Screaming Pillow is an inspiration to me to believe I can be me… and not let anything get in my way.
Thank you… for you have touched many lives and will continue to do so in the coming year.
Happy Thanksgiving,
James
