It’s easy to get caught up in all that you have. We truly have been blessed with so much.
Every now and then it’s a good thing to stop and realize how much you have. How much you have to be thankful for. So my darling, ask yourself these questions. And at the end, you will see just how much you have to be thankful for.
Did you get out of a bed this morning?
Did you fall asleep with a ceiling above you?
Was there food in the fridge when you walked out the door?
Did you have a clean shirt to put on?
Have you been complimented?
How are you reading this article?
If you are in an emergency, do you have someone to call?
When you’re too hot in the car, are you able to change that?
Do you have some change rattling around at the bottom of your bag?
Were you able to walk up the stairs this morning?
Are you able to get an education?
Has anyone ever paid for your coffee in the drive-through?
Do you have more than one drink option in your fridge?
Did you smell the fresh air this morning when you walked outside?
Did you have a ride to school or work today?
Do you have at least two pairs of socks?
Have you had a drink of fresh, clean water?
Have you brushed your teeth lately?
Do you have utensils to cook with?
Do you have more than one choice on what you can have for dinner?
Did you answer yes? How about several yes’s? They may be small things, they may be things you use every day, they may be things you use once a month. But these are the small things you have to be thankful for. This is only a small handful of things, actually, I’m sure you can think of so many more.
How thankful are you? I would say I am very grateful and thankful.
