Being Thankful

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." 1Thessalonians 5:16





Sometimes we need a reminder of how GOOD GOD REALLY IS. Today, I was driving through my old neighborhood, Paterson, NJ. I was kind of ticked at the amount of traffic going through this little town on my way to Route 80. I just dropped my daughter off at work and had to head back home. Unfortunately, it is at the peak of rush hour and can be a huge headache.



Well, as I was headed to my destination, the Lord caused me to see something that melted my heart. There, to my left, is a daycare center. It was hustling and bustling. Moms were dropping their kids off and rushing back to their cars to get to work. However, one mom was not so "fortunate". She had no car to run back into. She had A TAXI CAB.



Yes, that is correct. She was rushing her baby inside and I saw her motion to the taxi that she would be right out. My heart sank. I wanted to get out of my car and say, "Here, drive this. You would probably appreciate it much more than I do these days." My goodness! I take many things for granted, even my transportation! God forgive me! Oh, the lessons in life that God teaches us! We may not have everything we "want" but we sure have everything we "need", AND THEN SOME! Shelter, food, health, clothing....He is faithful.

What does our flesh have us complaining about today? Can we take a minute to thank God for all the blessings He has given us? Let us have an attitude of gratitude.


God bless you,
