A New Day - Be Thankful

By

A New Da7

I am thankful for a New Day.

As I begin this day I give thanks for all the love in my life... for all the comforts in my life... and for all that bring joy into my life...

Several times a month I make a list of no less than 100 things I am thankful for. There is so much that we take for granted. I often suggest to someone in a negative space that they make a list of 100 things that they are thankful for. More often than not they respond with, "Like what". I respond to their response with, "how about starting with your eyes, that see or your ears that hear... get the picture..."

Last night Rich and I spoke about the fact that the folks in the Philippines know that a storm is coming thanks to the technology we enjoy in our world... Imagine living in a time, when a storm hit with no warning... Yes we are thankful for technology...

Most of all every New Day...  I give thanks to God for all that I am and all that I have. 

May I please you and may I make you proud as I go through this New Day that you have blessed me with. May I be joyful and may I bring joy to all in your name Father Jesus.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

What a wonderful exercise to create a list of 100 thing that you are grateful for. I have a list of 100 things I want to do before I die. Every time I check something off, I replace it with something new.

We have so much to be grateful for and this is a perfect time of the year to express it ~ Thankgiving Day. Your wonderful post will probably have us thinking a little more in depth. Years ago in a psychology class, we had an exercise: Choose a partner in the class and while facing one another, say THANK YOU with meaning. Your post brought back some memories ;)
