Be thankful!
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

I can do the latter but only with the help of the Holy Spirit!
Your last two posts should be posted on everyone's refrigerator in every home across America............we are turning into an ungrateful bunch of spoiled brats and the book of Romans says that ungratefulness is the first step away from God toward a reprobate mind. I'm always careful to check that in my own spirit and with my children. Great post!
Sometimes I'm so grateful for every little thing that I'm like a kid with a new toy. I suspect that is the reason behind whatever success I've had as a human being. I care, and am happy with little things. I have a lot of years ahead of me yet, numerous things to learn and much to share.

Here's hoping you enjoy a safe and happy New Year.
are tests from God...i've had enough my land...i think
it was Marvin Gaye who said, "how much more abuse is a man
supposed to take?"...i guess not much more...coz he didn't
make it...
it doesn't help when the world around us
is in the spin cycle backwards
peace,

I am thankful for you and your words of wisdom - you are a blessing to be blessed.
We have arrived in the year 2007. It's kind of dark, but it looks a lot like 2006 did. Hope your New Year is a safe and pleasant one.
