Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #29

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

It’s amazing all the things for which we have to be thankful. Those little things in life that we count as little in our minds or just totally disregard, can make such a BIG difference when they are nonexistent. Life would seem more overwhelming than it does at times right now if we didn’t have 24 hour segments to live life on a daily basis. Can you imagine not giving our minds a break from everything that comes at us on a daily basis, whether good or bad? We weren’t wired to just keep going without some downtime. Some of us have a hard time sleeping as it is at night because our minds just keep going. (And by the way, I speak peace to those of you right now who are dealing with that junk. Let it go….) I am so grateful that after we’ve endured 5 days that can demand so much of us that we are blessed to have weekends. Yes, some of us have weekends that are just as filled as the other days but for the most part it should be a time of rejuvenation. And for that I’m grateful. It’s a time that we get to connect with friends and/or family. It’s a time that we can do the things that we want to do. And if every day of your life is filled with doing work that you don’t want to do, seek God for answers. Find out whether or not your reason for working every single day is due to discontent with “things” in life. Is all that working just so that you can have “more things” or to pay off all those things that you didn’t really need? Time is precious; be grateful for it.
