I had spent the day before murmuring and grumbling about how I wanted more and desired more. I tossed and turned in my bed contemplating strategies to get more and be more. I kept asking myself what was I doing wrong or what could I do better? I asked what is the one step I could take to move forward with all I was dreaming and wishing for.
Fast forward five months after, and it occurred to me last week that I am still struggling to live my life around the thought of engaging praises and thanksgiving as part of my life. I was still struggling to live my life regardless of my circumstances with praise and thanksgiving.
Why wait until November to be thankful for the blessings I have enjoyed over the years?
Why be blessed with what I need before I start being thankful for what I already have?
This is the thought I am taking with me through the rest of this week and month of August. An heart of thanksgiving and an attitude of praise shown towards a God who deserves far more than I can bring.
Psalm 74:14: I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.
Beloved, You are Loved Absolutely!
At a recent Mass, the priest talked about how people love to complain but often forget to give thanks (I know I'm guilty!)... but when we are grateful for what we have, more will come to us. Sounds like you're on the right track :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mellisa. I am spending the month of August on the tangible things I am thankful for. Each day is dedicated to things today and in the past that I have and still appreciate.
