With this Thankful Thursday in mind, I realize, without much elaboration, I have barely scratched the surface of this thankful heart. So, I have decided to keep it going throughout the weeks to come. Whenever I think of it, on a Thursday, I will post a sentiment.
Not every situation we are put in is worthy of praise. But imagine, finding at least one thing to be thankful for in that circumstance, it changes your entire perspective. You begin to look for more, little things, that you may have once overlooked. You have to train your mind to think of the things that are worthy of *praise.
Choosing to be thankful is actually a *sacrifice. You are making a choice to let go of the overwhelming emotions that tie you to the circumstances. Instead of resenting them, you grow from them. And eventually, you become grateful for them. You begin to notice that it affects you a whole lot less, and it stops controlling your way of thinking. You're happy because you have found so many moments to be thankful for.
Don’t run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And true patience brought on by endurance will equip
you to complete the long journey
you to complete the long journey
>>James 1:2-4<<
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
>>1Thessalonians 5:18<<
Happy Thanksgiving Friends.
Thank you Lord, for continually showing me what it means to be thankful.
And thank you Callie, for inspiring this journey.

*Psalm 50:23
