On Being Grateful To God And To Fellow Humans

No alt text provided for this image

When you look back at the life you used to have and what you currently have, you have so many things to be grateful for. Every action or decision that has brought you this far has been the decision God has in plan for you and the people He has sent to guide you towards that path. As such, it is important from time to time to deeply appreciate God for the grace we currently enjoy, and also to appreciate the people who have been the devices God has used to guide us to the path we are on now.

You do not have to wait until you are dying to send a thank you message to everyone who has made an impact in your life. It is important to always remember the favors that have been bestowed upon you. Take it upon yourself to thank God every moment you get. So many people seek what you have, and most people can only dream or imagine the life you currently have. So do not take it for granted.

It is also important to remember the people who have played a part in your life. Take a quick moment to send a thank you message to someone who has played a beautiful role in your life. It can be your parents, siblings or basically anyone who has played a part in who you have become today. You do not have to wait until your dying moment to do any of this. And these are things that do not take more than a few minutes to achieve.

If there is anything you get out of this article today, it is to be grateful to God and also to be grateful to the people around you. It might be a boss who really helped you see life differently, it could be the spouse who has been with you since the very beginning of your married life and continues to support you every single day. It can be that random stranger you met who gave you a piece of wonderful advice about how to live your life.

There are so many things happening around the world, and usually, what we capitalize on grows. So if you focus on seeing the beautiful things that have been happening and continue to happen, then you have so much more to be grateful for. It is about being sincerely grateful for what little thing you have today. Remember, people, come into our lives with a purpose, be the purpose someone smiles today.

No matter how small the favor that has been extended towards you is, remember to appreciate the person and pay it forward. If you complete a class successfully, remember to send a thank-you email to the instructor. If you have a spouse who supports you, send them an email or a text message, or even a voice message from time to time to deeply appreciate their help and support. We usually do not know when we would not have the opportunity again.

So many times, we think we can do these things tomorrow. Or you imagine that the other person simply knows that you appreciate them. Yes, they might know and possibly you can do it tomorrow, but you have no guarantee. All the guarantee you have is right now. And what best time to do something good if not now. If not now, when? Remember to always deeply appreciate everyone that comes through your life. We do not have the guarantee to say thank you tomorrow. Say your thank you now. Thanks and God bless.
