What should we be thankful for?

The seemingly unsurmountable obstacles in life?

The curve ball life hands to us sometimes?

The many trials and tribulations in life?

The many blessings and joys of being alive?

Should we be grateful for the lessons that we were meant to learnt

The life changing choices we were meant to make

The loving people that came to our aide

And the revelations that come upon us

Close to 40 years of living

Have you sometimes felt empty in the midst of your merriment

Trying too hard to have a happy time all the time

The cycles of frivolous activities and enjoyment that exposes the emptiness within

Stay calm be still and listen

Listen to voice within whispering to you

The spirit the divine creator gave us

Follow it for the fulfillment of your heart and soul

Because whatever you do, whether in word or deed,

do it all in the name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him ^{Collosians 3:17}

For it by grace you have been saved, through faith

– and this is not from yourself, it is a gift of God ^{Ephesians 2:8}

Be thankful you are alive today

Be thankful for loving family and friends

Be thankful for all the sacrifices, encouragements, compassion you have received

Be thankful for the Lord our savior, to Jesus who is same yesterday, today and forever

I give thanks with a grateful heart to all
