Thankful

When I feel disappointed, I'm thankful because I know God has something better for my life.

When I am fatigued, I am thankful because the cause is two healthy little boys.

When I am sad and discouraged, I am thankful because it reminds me that this world fades quickly.

When I am confused, I am thankful that God is silently working on my behalf.

When I have given everything, I am thankful that God shows up best in the weak.

When I make mistakes, I am thankful for God's grace.

When I am selfish, I am thankful that my Father gave His Son selflessly for my inadequacies.

When I am overwhelmed, I am thankful God directs my steps and orders my days.

When those around me are hurting, I am thankful God loves them even more than I do and cares about their troubles.

When I have the wrong reaction, I'm glad that God never does. He is constant.

When I get tangled in the world's concerns, I'm glad God gives me peace and contentment.

When I neglect thankfulness, I am SO THANKFUL that God lets me pick right back up where I left off and restores my tired soul by being thankful for the hard things.

He is good even when I am ugly.

Thankful.
