We just celebrated day of THANKS with family and friends... but were you truly thankful for what you have in life or were you waiting for the next day to run out and buy all the things you wanted?
We live in a world where nothing is ever enough. When we receive a blessing from God, into our life we often forget to be thankful and instantly start looking for something MORE...
Why should we be blessed with MORE if we cannot be thankful for what we have and where we are at this exact point in our life? I would never expect God to give me MORE if I cannot be thankful for what I already have been given.
We often want what we think we can't have instead of being pleased with what we already have...
Now it's okay to desire MORE for yourself, your loved ones, your family, your friends... we should always strive to BETTER ourselves by allowing God to work in us. If we spend time being thankful for what we already have and working with WHAT WE HAVE to get to that BETTER place then we are having FAITH that God can do anything. He can bring us through any life situation and into a bigger and better place, but first, are we thanking Him for what we have? Are we asking ONCE and THEN THANKING HIM for what we know He is going to give us in our future? These are KEY to a happy life!
Sit down and make a list of everything that you truly thankful for. Spend time in His word, thanking Him for all you have and all you know He has planned for you and your family. Have FAITH that HE can do anything!! So what are you waiting for? Get to it! What are you thankful for???
