Life gets so jammed with inconsistency, frustration, brokenness, and confusion….and I rarely find time to zone in on the things that I’m thankful for. Instead, I make it my aim to think about the things in life that I’m not thankful for.
At some point, I think this is true for all of us. When asked “What are you thankful for in life,” my mind suddendly goes blank. I can tell you more things to what I’m NOT thankful for than things I AM thankful for. But why?
I look over my life and yeah there are some things that I’m not thankful that happened. I wished I would have made better decisions, I wished some things would have never happened, and I wished some things would have been different…but at the end of the day, I see things in my life that I am thankful for…and those things I’m thankful for are worth it all.
It’s these things that I’m thankful for that gives me hope to keep going. Hope to change. Hope to make a difference.
