This is to my friends and family that call me and seem to be down and never happy with anything in their lives. I have decided to not only be grateful for what God has done in my life but, also what he has done in yours.
I am thankful that all your kids are healthy. I am thankful that not one of your kids is lying in the hospital in need of serious medical care. I am thankful that none of your kids are in trouble with the police. None of your kids are dead or missing. I am thankful that each one of you have a roof over your heads and reliable transportation. That none of you though money is tight has gone without a meal. That you have electricity and running water. I am grateful for those of you that have a job though you may not be happy with it at this time do indeed have a job. And those of you that are unemployed have the opportunity to experience this time with your kids that you would not have otherwise had if you were working right now.
I am grateful that though your day may be hard that you are alive each day to experience it. Not only for you but for me because I am grateful eachday to know that if I should want to talk to you, you are there.
I am grateful that you have eyes to see. Ears that hear. Lungs that breathe and a heart that beats within your chest. I am grateful that you have two arms to show love and receive love from those that are close to you.
I am grateful that even though you may have bills that God provides a way for you to pay them.
I know that at times life may seem hard but I have found that sometimes instead of looking at what you don't have right now life looks a lot better when you think about all the things that you do have. When you look at your life and see how much abundance there actually is. So for now until you can see how good your lives are I will happily do it for you.
