I'm going to pose the same question to you: What are your thankful for and why?
We are thankful for so many things in our lives. We could makes lists that number in the hundreds. Are you thankful for your family? Of course. Thankful for pets? You bet. Friends? Yes. If you thought about it you could make a list so long you'd be amazed.
But, here is the bigger question. Why are you thankful for each of these things?
Is it because you love them? Because they love you? They support you? They provide you with a calmness or peacefulness?
Are you thankful for them because God put them in your life?
Nothing in your life is by chance. God knows your story. He knows all the characters in it and what the plot is and how it all works out.
God wrote your story long before you were born. He loves you. He sent His son, Jesus, to walk among the world to give peace and help others find peace.
Walk peacefully with Jesus every day. Don't be shy about praying to Him to ask Him to show you how.
Or, look in His word and He will teach you.
"The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."" -- Exodus 33:14
"The Lord gives strength to His people, the Lord blesses His people with peace." -- Psalms 29:11
When you don't know what to do. Wait. Trust in the Lord to lead you. Follow Him. Walk with Him. He will bless you with peace.
Thank Jesus frequently as you walk throughout the day. When you do this you will soon learn how to pray without ceasing. With this ability, you will have a direct connection to God at all times.
So, what are you thankful for?
And, why?
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." -- Psalms 118:24
The conclusion of our minister's sermon was this "Be content with what you have, never with who you are."
"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." -- Philippians 4:11
Have a blessed day.
