Thankfulness

Have you ever took a moment in the morning when you woke up and just even thought to be thankful that you even woke up? Or are you like me and you hop right out of bed and immediately think about the things you have to do for the day, what to wear, who you're hanging out with, etc. I'm guessing a lot of you are like me and do the latter. Well I'm here to tell you that I have been blessed to be thankful about the things around me. A lot of you are probably thinking "Oh no! Something tragic has happened in JeneĆ©'s life and it's causing this sudden change of heart", but nope not at all! This sudden urge of thankfulness just came to me yesterday when a friend of mine's face lit up when she saw me after not seeing me for the whole day. Random right! But it gave me the thought that I should be extremely grateful and thankful. She might well be the bestest friend I have right now; not only does she encourage me everyday but she is willing to put up with my weird moods, pray for me and with me, but she also shares her space with me. All these things are little things in our eyes because most times we think of being extremely thankful in times of pain or great tragedy. But it's the little things that count. It's waking up in the morning, it's having food on our table, it's having clothes, and it’s having people in our lives that show us Christ everyday.

"give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18
