Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #23

Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t know what this is all about.

People. Another resource I believe God has given us for the various areas of our lives is other people. There may be personal quests that we feel we are meant to do. But if we really took time to stop and think about it, we’d realize that a lot of the things needed to fully accomplish those quests would not be possible if it were not for other people who had the hearts to get onboard. What quests are you talking about Charlotte? Some people have a desire to do something in the community for others. Some people have a desire to start managing their own business/company. Some people desire to explore places of interests where they live or traveling abroad in the company of other people. I’m sure that you can think of a number of different things that you have a heart to do and have done with the help of other people. Don’t you realize that other people don’t have to follow your lead or trust your word? And there is another vital area that I must mention. If you’re out of work right now and the only way you’re getting financial assistance is by getting assistance from the government, be ever so grateful to God for people who have the hearts to do the right thing by paying their taxes. Can you imagine what our society would be like if it were full of rebellious people who didn’t care about the consequences of not paying their taxes? Don’t look at just how the taxes you’ve paid effects your current circumstances but consider the bigger picture of how things could be worse than what they are now without the hearts of some. I’m not oblivious to the wrongs and the injustices; I just believe that regardless of where we are in life there is always SOMETHING for which to be thankful.
