"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever."
Take a moment on this Monday morning and simply thank the Lord for all He has done! It is to our benefit that we remember His great acts of kindness and deep mercy. When we clothe ourselves with thanksgiving first thing in the morning, it becomes like a thick armor against the things of this world that seek to penetrate and destroy our spirit!
I am thankful that I am healthy, have a roof over my head, and have an awesome family. We all go through stuff but I am still grateful.
Lately, my oldest son has been riding my last nerve! He has a lot of testosterone flowing through his body and I guess every now and then he forgets who I am. Quite sadly, I enjoy reminding him of who I am more often than not LOL. But it's robbing my peace. I can't have that in my life. I must have peace and not strife.
So along with my thankful heart today I'm going to CHOOSE to focus on the great things about my son. He is helpful, funny, loving, kind, and for the most part, respectful. I choose to see the good in him and to bring every negative thought captive to Jesus. No one is perfect and he needs an understanding ear as he goes through these threshing years as a teen.
What about you? What will you be thankful about today? And what will you PURPOSELY choose to ignore that has been having a negative effect in your life? God bless us all in our journey to seek Him and draw closer.
Blessings!
