Chipo, You’re an inspiration. Congratulations on your book being published.
Be thankful in everything because God is good…. very inspiring post. 🙂
Thank you Andi … One of my favorite mantras spoken to my children before they became adults was “the complaint department is closed 24/7.” They laughed every time I said it but they knew that the family would be focusing on the positives and being thankful for our experiences. There is always something to be thankful for, Andi. Even the life lessons from a negative experiences.
I love this post. Thank you Adalia. I am starting to practice this today. I will not take any kind act, any help, any smile, my health, family, business, friends, problems, setbacks and everything that comes my way just at face value. I will remember to thank my God for it all and also to express my gratitude where it is due!!! I refuse, from today, to “wrap a present and Keep it” but to give it out! Thank you once again.
May God help me to always express my gratitude!
Hello Naomi,
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on being thankful. Yes, it easy to forget to be thankful when our minds are consumed by what we don’t have or what we don’t want in our lives. When I read your words – from today, to “wrap a present and Keep it” but to give it out! – I smiled!
