Give Thanks.

What would you do if you woke up today and only had the things that you thanked God for yesterday? Where would you be? Would you have your family, food, a place to live? I can honestly say that there are days I wouldn't have any of those things. Sure, I pray daily but I forget to thank God for the things I already have and find myself focusing on the things I don’t have. Days like today, I’d have nothing. This idea really got me thinking and I’m going to start writing down one thing a day that I’m thankful for. How hard can it be? I think all of us as humans forget that the things we have are blessings. There are tons of people that don’t have near the amount that we do. Here’s some things to think about… If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place to sleep, You are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change, You are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness You are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the agony of imprisonment or torture, or the horrible pangs of starvation, You are luckier than 500 million people alive and suffering. If you can read this, You are more fortunate than 3 billion people in the world who cannot read at all. Statistics like these really get me thinking about how lucky we are to be so fortunate! Don’t forget to be thankful for today :) I’m thankful for you!
