BE THANKFUL

Things could be worse.

There is so much to be thankful for this brand New Year.

Some people started 2021 and are no longer here with us.

We made it!!!
This year, no matter how bad our day or circumstance is, we should learn to be thankful.
Be thankful even in the face of adversity.

It is hard to be thankful when you have bills to pay, but no money, when your loved one is ill with a terminal sickness, when your marriage is shaky and you are on the brink of divorce, when your mortgage is due, but you don’t have the money to pay it.

Why would you want to be thankful?
Because it could be worse, you could be in a far worse situation than you are currently in. You worry about not having a job, but someone is taking their last breath in the hospital. You worry about not having nice shoes, meanwhile someone is having their legs amputated because of diabetes or an accident.

Someone out there has it worse than you. People are going through things they don’t talk about. It doesn’t mean you are better than them, but gratitude in the face of adversity is everything.
Do not take the little things in your life for granted.
There is always something to be thankful for everyday.
