We have a lot to be thankful for -- God blesses us everyday, even when we're at the worst of times. It's easy to forget them.
One thing I've been trying to do more often in my relationship with Him is to express my thankfulness. I forget to do it so often.
Here's the idea. Think of something that you're annoyed with or upset about, and think of three things connected to that thing that you're thankful for.
Here's a funny one. I'm annoyed that one of my favorite pairs of jeans shrank in the wash and have now become jeggings. I am thankful for a wonderful wife who is always happy to do the laundry. I'm also thankful for my job, which if I were to walk in wearing said jeggings, I'd surely be fired for indecency. Lastly, my wife warned me not to have the jeans washed because they could shrink. I am thankful for great advice, even when I'm too foolish to take it.
Your turn.
