From a grateful heart.....
In recent years, I have refused to get familiar with waking up every morning. I mean, I do not take it for granted. I count it a privilege to be alive and entrusted with the capacity to influence lives. I have increasingly become aware of the need to give thanks and be grateful for both the big and small things in life. Gratitude works wonders for the giver and the receiver. Every time I express gratitude, a sense of privilege and worthiness washes over me. Gratitude eliminates the sense of entitlement, it enables us connect both with God and fellow humans at a deeper level; it is fuel for the circle of life. Every time we fail to express gratitude, we erode value, we further disconnect from God and fellow humans and we diminish the circle of life. The mystery of gratitude is that it is a choice.
The mystery of gratitude is that it is a choice.
It is another thanksgiving and I am grateful for many things in my life. The highs and the lows, the tears and the smiles, the worries and assurances, the gains and the losses. I am thankful for:
Grace. I am a product of grace and I am grateful to God for this.
Life. I am thankful for the gift of the present. Every day for me represents 24 hours of fresh opportunities.
Family. I am thankful for my family. I am blessed with the greatest husband there is. He who loves me selflessly and prioritizes me as number one. Blessed in the Company of my 3 beautiful daughters – they add color to my life.
Still on Family, I am thankful for my parents and siblings.
Thankful for Friends, Colleagues and Acquaintances.
Mentors. Mentorship is a lifeline and I am thankful for my mentors.
Health. Thankful for health and the ability to dream.
Thankful for books and music – they make a good journey great.
I am thankful for You who is reading this; you have the gift of the present. I hope you make the best of it.
What are you thankful for?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
