Happy Thanksgiving!
On this day we should all take some time to give thanks for all the blessings we have.
Each one of us has so much to be thankful for but unfortunately we don’t always realize that.

We tend to focus on what’s missing in our lives so much that we overlook what’s already there.
This impacts each one of us at one time or another in our lives, I know I’ve been there.
It can appear in every part of our lives: relationships, career, health, etc.
We focus on the lost relationships instead of being thankful for the ones we do have.
We focus on the lost promotion instead of being thankful for the job we do have.
We focus on the physical ailments we are dealing with instead of the health we do have.
When most of our focus is on what we’ve lost or what we feel we don’t have, are we truly being thankful?

This is what I want to encourage us all to do this Thanksgiving and beyond, be truly thankful for how much He has blessed us.
Yes, life may be tough right now and you may be feeling the pain of loss in some area but that’s not where you have to stay.
Put the focus back on the blessings you have and the love He has for you to ease that pain.
Let’s all start being truly thankful.

Truth In Love! ~ Chuck
