"Learning to Be Thankful"
Some people tend to always be thankful for the bigger blessings in their lives, but seldom do they consider the smaller ones. Just to be able to wake up each morning and begin a new day is a blessing, even though I understand that many of you will often begin and end the day in pain. It is a blessing that more of you have shelter from the weather than not, even though the shelter you have might not be everything you want or desire. You can be thankful for whatever food there might be to sustain you in your times of need. There are more people than you know or realize who are going hungry each and every day, even as I try to feed as many as I can. It would be My desire to see more people getting involved with helping others in this endeavor. One can also learn to be thankful for the clothes they have to wear and the shoes for their feet, of which some people have more than they could ever or would ever need.
Yes, My children, there are many things for which one should be thankful if only one would learn to have a thankful heart. It can be so easy to take the little blessings in one's life for granted and blessed are those who have learned to give thanks for and be thankful for every single little thing in their lives. It has been said that GOD loves a thankful heart, and yes My children, I certainly do. Many people can be thankful for the vehicles they get to drive, realizing that countless others do not have anything of their own to drive. A lot of times in life people find it difficult to be thankful because certain things might not be exactly what they want or wanted, which is not how a thankful heart behaves. As you live your life this day, give some thought as to what you might be thankful for, and give thanks. Blessed is everyone who finds themselves being thankful for even the smallest of things, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.
AMEN
