Like many of you, I love quotes. This one caught my eye earlier this week:
“
We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts. How can God entrust great things to one who will not thankfully receive from Him the little things?”
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I gave my dad one of those little wooden boards a couple of years ago that said
"Enjoy the little things in life, for some day, you will realize those were the big things."
That was an inside joke growing up when dad would give advice to newly married couples; it would ALWAYS include remembering to do "the little things".
I love both of these quotes as good reminders of being grateful for the small things in life. Not only are those important to be thankful for, but by remembering the little things, it helps create a habit or even a way of life to
live in a state of gratitude
.
And a couple of good bible verses especially good today:
I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers
." Philemon 1:4
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
I am so grateful for each of you.
Wishing you a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
God loves you just the way you are,
any age you are,
any place in your faith life you are.
Have an awesome day!
