Every Day is a Blessing
When you stop to think about it, our lives really are magnificent in so many ways. Each day is an opportunity to embrace a new challenge or appreciate the little things that make you smile. All it takes is a little perspective change. Your thoughts effect your actions, so switch your thoughts to positive and grateful ones. What about the person you know that has less than you? Do you think they are grateful for what they have? When we get to know people who don't have the things we take for granted, it gives us an even deeper appreciation for what we do have. Immediately upon waking each morning, think of ten things you are grateful for at the moment. As you fall asleep at the end of the day, fill your thoughts with thankfulness for the good and valuable blessings in your life. As you live with a grateful heart, you can experience a deep sense of fulfillment every single day because you know are living in alignment with God's perfect plan for your life. Appreciation is all about consciously recognizing the worth and value that God has placed on your life. It’s about recognizing that as people, we only have a specific amount of time on this earth. You are here to experience love, joy and to make an impact in someone else's life. Begin each day and end each day with a prayer of thanks. Live each day with a sincerely thankful heart. As each day passes, you’ll realize that you have more and more to be thankful for.
Psalms 118:24
This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
