THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR TODAY!
If you have a job be thankful. Stop 'fault-finding' and look for something GOOD about what you do! Why are you really 'there' to begin with?
If you have a job you don't LIKE-be THANKFUL-consider it a challenge-not a headache! Constant complaining changes nothing-except YOUR attitude!
If you just lost a job-be thankful. Consider it an OPPORTUNITY and a DOOR that will open to a better one! Doors shut for a reason-go with the 'flow'.
If you have family and friends today be thankful. Take time to let them know how much they mean to you-and spend time with them!
If you don't HAVE anyone-be thankful. Know that you have an opportunity to VISIT someone who may be in your situation. Make YOURSELF 'available'!
If you are apart from a loved one be thankful. Know that there are reasons both of you have something to learn about your situation-and yourselves!
If you have good health be thankful. Continue to take good care of your health-and balance all things-both work and play daily!
If you are sick-know that your problems may be minor compared to others. Find new ways to deal with your problems. Join support groups!
If you are terminally ill-thank God for the grace to overcome your fears of death and ENJOY each DAY you've been blessed with. Find something that gives you JOY-and pursue it with all your heart!
If you have a home be thankful. Even if there is a repair be thankful you can FIX it-and take pride in what you've been given. Make it YOUR sanctuary!
If you're in the middle of a loss or foreclosure-be THANKFUL that sometimes doors shut to open up NEW ONES to teach you how to be responsible for what you have. It may be a important lesson in life about money.
If you have lost your home-be thankful the next one is going to be BETTER than what you had! Some doors close to open up another.
If you have suffered from anything-be thankful. Losses in our lives teach us who we are, what we believe in-and what we can become.
If you are BLESSED with all of the above-FAMILY, A CAREER, and a HOME today-don't forget to "GIVE THANKS" on this day for them!
