What is it that you have been doing for a long time now that you thought when you started you would not get as far as you are now? Go ahead; take a few moments to think about what that one thing might be. Do you have it in your mind? Okay—are you thankful for where you are with it? My dear one…what you have is longevity, or what I call “stick with-it-ness.” I have to admit that on July 25 when I started this repeated post for Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness for this segment of my blog, way at the back of my mind there was this little voice telling me I would not keep this segment going until Thanksgiving Day. I heard, “you will get bored and want to write about something else.” Also lurking in my thoughts was that I would not have time to write something every day. Furthermore, what can you be thankful for everyday?? Seriously? That sounds ridiculous, does it not—that I—that WE cannot find VARIOUS things for which to be thankful EVERYDAY? If you have been with me every day, you have been thankful everyday right along with me. No doubt, some days your reasons for being thankful were different from my reasons.
If this “purposeful” thankfulness is new to you but you are getting the hang of it, I hope you like how it makes you feel throughout your day. I hope you are discovering more peace because you did not realize just how truly blessed you are and truly loved by God. Some of us have just allowed our perspective on life to become so marred, that we have failed to see clearly.
