We always utter this phrase when we pray, but do we REALLY mean it? Are we truly thankful on the the days when...
You have six loads of laundry to do
The toddler is teething
The baby has colic
The preschooler won't stop talking
The phone won't stop ringing
Someone spills something sticky on your just cleaned kitchen floor
The hospital bill comes in
The house is a mess
Your hubby has to work late
You have a sinus headache that medication isn't helping
What if all this happens ON the SAME day? What if ALL your days lately seem to have a similar set of circumstances? Are you still thankful for THAT day? Can you see past your present challenges and annoyances and see the blessings that this day holds?
Is this not the secret to having a joyful and content life?
Philippians 4:12-13
Thank you my friend for this reminder. As Momma's our candles feel like they NEVER stop burning at both ends and even in the middle. I needed reminding of my thankfulness for each day. You are such a blessing and encouragement to my life. I love you so. Thank you!!
