I feel like keeping this week’s post short and sweet.
We’ve just celebrated Thanksgiving and now we jump into the Christmas season.
Maybe we need to linger a bit longer in that attitude of thanksgiving. In that vein, I thought I’d list a few things I’m thankful for here, and I invite you to share some of your own in the comments (or at least ponder them in your own heart for a while).
I’m thankful for:
God (who provided His love and all of the other people and things on this list)
My family (Gary and our children, but also each one of our extended families)
Friends (I often say that I can’t imagine my life without each person God has brought into our lives as we’ve moved over the years)
This beautiful world (We love to travel and explore its many wonders)
The hardships I’ve had to go through (Yes, I’m even thankful for those times, because they helped shape me into who I am today)
The future (With all of its many possibilities and surprises)
It’s good for our mental health to practice gratitude, so let’s not forget to do that each and every day.
So grateful for each of you, ~Robyn
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1 NIV)
Are you thankful for everything in your life? How can focusing on God help you to be grateful every day?
