Grateful - The Hawkins Family (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUEkRp69aIU)
In January of this year I got a post from Robin Sharma,
author of “The Monk who sold His Ferrari.” And “the Leader Who Had No Title.” This
blog was entitled “62 Fast ways to get unstuck”, the tip that stuck with me was
“Write handwritten thank you notes to your customers, teammates and family
members.” I haven’t started yet but I vow that I will begin soon.
1 Thessalonians 5:13 says “Give thanks in all circumstances”.
You may be asking what is there to give thanks for. Here are a few things I am
thankful for:
Life –
I am happy to be alive, there is so much to live for despite all the doom and
gloom around us. Every day is a day that we have never seen before and we will
never see again.
Family
– I
love my family, I think I have the best family in the world. I have nine
siblings, lots of nieces and nephews, my mother and my sisters and brothers in law.
My dad died two years ago. I bless God for them because we are so closely
knitted and we have a kind of relationship that not all families enjoy.
Friends –
I have some friends to die for, people who I can always call on when I need a
shoulder, a hand, a kind word, a rebuke and I do my best to do the same for
them. I bless God for all my friends.
Church
Family – My church family is my extended family members. I
never find a more caring set of people. Our value statement is “The friendly
family Church.”
Salvation
and Purpose – Thank God that I am saved and I have a
relationship with Christ Jesus. I am also grateful that there is purpose on my
life and that he uses me to touch so many lives in so many nations on a daily
basis.
Ladies, today no matter how dismal life may seem, find
something to give God thanks for. Also find someone who has touched you in some
way and let them know you are grateful. They might just end up being grateful
to you as well for letting them know that what they have done has not gone
unnoticed.
Let’s Pray,
Lord, we are grateful today that you have given unto
life. Forgive us Lord God for being ungrateful to you and others who have
touched us in even a small way. Help us today to be grateful even for the
things we consider insignificant.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Have A God Filled Day Ladies
