Always be thankful – lesson to learn

Well as I was doing the email tonight for Zaney Clicks I went searching for some Thanksgiving quotes and it’s amazing how things work out and you find things that YOU need – another one of those miracles that most don’t talk about.

As most of you know and have been putting up with my pile of screw ups on the sites lately and yes there is a reason – you see I lost focus on what I should be thankful for and got wrapped up in what life was dishing out for me instead of trusting God.

Running across this poem sure put things in perspective for me and thought I would share with all of you…

thankful3Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.
