Too many of us take for granted the blessings bestowed on us. We enjoy the gifts but find it hard to thank the giver. My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us not get so busy, that we forget to give God thanks for the many blessings of this life.

Let us make it our aim to find at least one thing to be thankful for today. Most times we especially forget to be thankful for the little things. Let us begin every day by just saying, “Thank you, Lord, for this new day!” We take for granted things such as running water, sunrises and sunsets, living a day without pain or medication, Someone to hug,  being able to see, hear, feel and smell. Start a thankful journal – writing down the things that you are truly grateful for, and the next time you feel down in the dumps just pick it up and begin reading and you will be surprised at the results. Have a truly thankful day!
