Last night was a special service at our church. I really wish everyone could have heard the message that was shared. The World’s Smallest Evangelist spoke on being thankful. This man, I am guessing, is all of three feet tall. You would think that based solely on his size and resulting circumstances that he could not be thankful, but he is.
Thanksgiving Day comes once a year, but there is no reason not to be thankful everyday.
There is no question that many of us are living lives that have not turned out as we expected. regardless of the area of your life, you can still be thankful. Many of you are disappointed that they are not driving the fancy new car, but are you thankful you have a car to drive? Many may disappointed with the house that you live in, but are you thankful that it is a house and provides you with the shelter you need?
Yes, we can be disappointed and that is a part of us, but it does not have to keep us down. You do not control the circumstances today, but you do control your attitude.
I am thankful for everything in my life, the good times and bad. I am thankful for my wife and each one of my children who are growing up way too fast. I am even thankful for my new son-in-law! There are so many things I could add to this, but you would probably stop reading. We all have so much, even if it is not exactly what we might wish we had.
Are you thankful today? What are you thankful for?
