We are thankful for YOU!
Our world is SO fast paced, we have negative media being shoved down our throats daily and today I want to share with you how easy it is to see the blessings!
Embracing life's blessings and having a thankful heart is a CHOICE folks!! Seriously, it is a choice!!
The more you look for the shiny penny, see the blessings in disguise and even just being thankful when you stub your toe – I know, it sounds corky, BUT…. When you learn to see how stubbing your toe kept you from walking out in front of a moving vehicle or how your car dying along side of the road when there was a massive 10 car pile up no two miles down the road to which you would have been part of!!
Sometimes, it is simply thanking God for adversity and not even seeing the blessing, but thanking him just the same because you know some how there will be a blessing that will come from it! It is being thankful even when you would really rather not!
I have learned to laugh at adversity and send a prayer of Thanks and continue moving about my day. There are things we just can not control! Things we are not supposed to control and too often we try. We are trying to control things that are impossible – so impossible that it would be comparable to nailing Jello to the wall! I mean, COME ON, we just need to let go and be thankful!
We have gotten in the practice at dinner every night, sharing what we are thankful for from the current day! Trust me, there have been days when the truck all short of blew up, the sawmill stopped working, the backhoe is in pieces in the driveway and we still were able to find something to be thankful for! It may not always be easy, but the more you focus on seeing something to be thankful for – the more you will see things to be thankful for!!
In other words, your world will be filled with a much more positive view and you will without a doubt find something to be thankful for each and every day! Additionally, the struggles in your life will not be as harsh and you will find that moving on even during the worst of times is much easier!
How is that for a survival skill my friend's? Trust me, this can be done and even the Mountain Man has found the truth in this!
