Things to be Thankful For


Life is full of twists and turns, thus it is mysterious. One cannot fathom its depth nor master its course. There are times that we feel so desperate if we could not get the things we are aiming for. Others then would say, it's the fate that claims it. This may lead us to comparing ourselves with others, yet we all know that each one of us is unique in different ways. Though we cannot avoid the ups and downs of our lives, one thing is certain: God is there for us and there are lots of things to be thankful for. Some of them are our daily routine but we were not able to appreciate them.


A friend reminded me of them through her text message sent and I would like to share them with you. These are:


  • God, who is always there unconditionally;
  • the alarm that goes off early in the morning, it means you are still alive;
  • for the weary and aching muscles at the end of the day, it means you are capable of working hard;
  • for the clothes that fit a little snug, it means you have enough to eat;
  • for the mess to clean after a party, it means that you have friends that surround you;
  • for the windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing, it means you have a home;
  • for the taxes you pay, it means you have work.

So, what do you say?
