In the midst of all that may be happening, we have so much to be thankful for. This evening, I was 2 seconds away from breaking down crying. I had enough reasons for you and I both to take a ride down that slippery slope of depression. I did not feel like talking on the phone. I knew I did not want to get in the slumps of depression. Instead, I began to I began to think of the many blessings that were right before me. You KNOW the blessings we tend to take for granted ....those blessings that we overlook because of our tendencies to think that it is "just normal" for us to have. As I looked within my circle of influence, I discovered some are not as fortunate. My attitude shifted. I became thankful for my own apartment WITHOUT a cosigner, my health, my peace and food. I immediately began to feel better with a heart of gratitude. My situation did not change. I made THE decision to change my mind regarding the situations.
This is a great word. And very encouraging for the times we are in.
