We most often acknowledge the "biggies," but how many of us are thankful for all the small stuff - a parking space close to our destination, someone holding the door when we're lugging heavy grocery bags or laundry, etc.?<BR/><BR/>Today I was thankful for the Lord providing some company at dinner in the hospital cafeteria. I was uplifted and encouraged when I went back to my husband's bedside.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312178252451756652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-1140390981458984082006-02-19T15:16:00.000-08:002006-02-19T15:16:00.000-08:00I think the whole point of counting your blessings...I think the whole point of counting your blessings is the fact that they're too numerous to actually count. Once you realize that, no problem or set back seems like such a big deal. That way, you don't dwell on what you don't have because the list of blessings is greater than you realize.<BR/><BR/>"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24<BR/><BR/>It doesn't say to rejoice only when it's a good day, or if the weather is perfect. We are to rejoice that the Lord has been generous enough to give us another day. I think it's important to give thanks for specific things that are important, like health, family, church etc. But it's also important just to give thanks for each and every day we are given, because He wants us to rejoice and be happy every day.<BR/><BR/>Just my opinion.Jadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429987593716194512noreply@blogger.com
