I have so much to be thankful for in my life. There are too many blessings to name here in this short space. I asked the Lord this morning to remind me of things in my life that I have to be thankful for that I usually do not thank Him for each week. On this day of remembereace, what are the little things you remeber to give thanks for but are glad they are a part of your life?
Tell your family how thankful you are for them, be specific.
Do you have a “big deal” going on in your life right now?
I have known people that seem to go from “big deal” to “big deal”. There seems to be something going on in their life all the time. I’m not talking about that next big business deal, but that thing in your life that seems to be causing conflict. The conflict may be between people or it may be internal. What seems to be the thing that is dragging you down right now? As trite as this may sound it is the best I can give you, turn your “deal” over to the Lord and let Him tackle it for awhile. It may not go away right then, but a fresh perspective on it from His angle will help you greatly. I know it helps me when I am fighting my “big deal”.
In the sermon yesterday by our pastor, Pat Hood, he made a statement that I have been thinking about, “Consistent giving, leads to consistent living”. I personally agree with that statement. I have noticed in my own life how my feelings, my attitudes, and my living patterns are different when I am consciously living in a state of giving. I have many personal anecdotes to support this realization. Some of these I have discovered on my own others have been observed by others and relayed to me
Here’s the question: Are you a giving person? How do you know? Would the people who surround you the most often classify you as a giver or a taker?
Do you ever get tired? I have been worn out for the past several weeks and I really do not know why. It could be that I am out of shape and in need of a new workout routine and added discipline. How have you been feeling lately?
