Why Am I Thankful

Everyday is a Gift from God
Everyday is a day of Thanksgiving

He died so I could live
So I could have a better life
I refuse to waste it fussing, complaining or being unhappy.

With all that is going on in the world, there is so much we have to be thankful for. So, before we focus our time or energy on what we don't have, let's reflect on what we do have.

Why am I Thankful?

I am thankful for...
I am blessed
I am covered
I am healthy
I am healed 
I am loved 
I am strong
I am forgiven
I am wise
I am grateful
I am a child of God...

I am thankful for...
Family, friends
Wisdom, vision
Spiritual growth
Great health, hope
Peace, prosperity
Guidance, direction
Strength, patience
God's mercy and grace
Love, joy... and all that good stuff!

I am thankful for...
God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Ask yourself - What are you thankful for?
