In the face of full transparency or full disclosure, I want to admit that sometimes I seem like an ungrateful person. I have mentioned before that I can find myself wondering about a different house, a newer truck, a bigger television. What a bunch of first world problems. Lots of folks would love to have any house, any truck, any television; I should be grateful.
I have those other times when I just take things for grated. I have the most beautiful, god-filled wife, lovely, absolutely normal children, a good family, a good job, folks I love that also love me. Yet, I, sometimes, just act like I am supposed to have these things - taking them for granted.
Today's word is just something I came across that reminds me to be grateful: "What if today we were just grateful for everything?"
I want to do my very best today, and every day, to display an attitude of gratitude, and attitude of thankfulness and gratefulness. I have blessed beyond all measure. I have been given more than I could have ever hoped, dreamed, or imagined. And, as I have said before, when this life is over, I will be more alive than ever, living forever with my SAVIOR.
Join me in this endeavor to just be grateful. I am sure I will find myself still being ungrateful or still taking things for granted. But, I want to make a conscious effort to be grateful for all the many, many blessings GOD has so generously given me. What if we were just grateful for everything?
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
