Something we should do everyday
Posted by Alli on November 22, 2007
How often do you really sit down and think of all you are thankful for? It’s easy to be grateful for the bare minimum (house, clothes, food) but am I truly thankful for it every single day? I know I take so much for granted.
I’m ashamed I don’t cry out in thanks for the food stuffed in my freezer. I am guilty of not pausing to rejoice for the roof over my head. I realize to need to recognize the blessing it is buy and wear the clothes I pull from my drawers (or in some cases, off the floor).
We struggle to instill an attitude of gratitude in our children, but I am struggling to remember it myself.
Having today, Thanksgiving Day, as a way to force myself to be thankful is something to be thankful for in itself. And I pray I remember to do it more every day.
