Thankfulness


A very good friend of mine that I've always known was hand picked to be a part of my life by the Lord told me yesterday about being thankful.  A few hours after that a radio program came on about making thankfulness a part of your family's life through your own actions. 

Natural inherant thankfulness has to be worked at.  Every single one of us will be brought down by the negative and that will swarm our minds and heart until we don't remember how to be thankful.  She suggested I do a list each day if I need to of at least 5 things I was thankful for.  Most people still consider me a overall positive focused person.  Making this list was more of a way for me to build my wall of God's love back up when the world around me is tearing it down.  Currently many things in my life are coming at my heart and God's work to try and sneak in an attack at every angle.  I am still so thankful for so many things in my life, but making this list for me isn't to remind me of what I know I have.  This thankful list is an instant fix when I feel down on unkind society, or shady ethics, or anything else that is heavy on my heart that day!  I am going to add this as a part of my blog as often as I can!
