Be GRATEFUL 4 Everything!!!!

We struggle...

We fight...

We survive.....

When we make it....we aren't SATISFIED


Happy Wednesday to you all...

All day today the word GRATEFUL has been on my heart and mind. We wake up, we go to work, we go on vacations, we even have the opportunity to bless others. For some reason, it seems that we aren't grateful for God waking us up in the mornings, or Him allowing us grace and mercy on our jobs when half of us know we don't deserve the job that we have. Granted we all get a little down and out at times; it's life and afterall, we all are human. But we can't lose sight of God and where He has brought us from. It's like my mother says..."I might not be where I want to be, but I thank God that I am not where I use to be".

We tend to forget that there are millions of people who are either homeless, jobless, hungry, or sick. When you know what God has done for you, you can appreciate the good and the bad. Funny thing is, nobody wants to go through any storms or rough times. We want everything drama free, but it doesn't work that way. We go through what we go through to make us stronger...afterall God said He wouldn't forsake us. Nobody said that life would be easy. The thing is; you don't have to go at life alone. Be grateful, because there's someone else that's worse off than you, be grateful, because there's someone else who would love to be in your shoes.... 

Be grateful 4 where you are. U can't expect to be blessed with BIGGER and BETTER when you aren't grateful 4 the SMALLER things. Sure, none of us are were we want 2 b, but how do u expect to get there when you stay negative?? Be grateful, cause God gave you a job, an education, a family, and of course life....So, the next time you think about complaining about what you don't have, take a second and look at what you do have...then drive around and see the many people with signs up asking for food and money...then drive around and see the people lined up to get into a homeless shelter...then tell me your thoughts...
