Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something.
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations.
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge.
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary.
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those
who are also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

    I always praise the Lord in everything He do I’m not only counting for the blessings but also for those sufferings that I’ve done cause I learned a lot from it.Even I was in trials I never give and I always put my trust on Him I know That “He never
    leave us nor forsaken us.” For Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Colossians 1:16-17
    Prayer:
    Father in heaven, thank you for everything that you have done in my life that even I facing the trials in my life I never give up to put my trust in You that You are my LORD my redeemer that I know that everything have a reasons and You a great plans in my life. I know that You are always there to guide me and saves me. Thank You LORD and Help me to overcome all of my trials that I facing right now help me always to hear Your so I can follow all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    It is always inspiring to know that one is loved by God, by the Creator of heaven and earth, though one does not merit it. Nothing really in this world can make me sad because all the zeros of this life amount to nothing when before them a one appears, I am a son of God. May God bless you all!

    don’t despair when things happen the way it ought not to be. consider them a blessing coming from above instead. that’s how God works. trials and tribulations are given for these are the ones that make us strong and endure our faith all the more. God is indeed good – at all times!
