I know I needed it...it's so easy to get caught up in all the problems isn't it? I'm always telling my children, "A thankful heart is a happy heart", and it's so true!
I have seen this on Pinterest before and you are right it is such a sobering thought.
I really struggle with being thankful, but learning to be content with where I am in life and what the Lord has given me is something I am really trying to focus on doing this year.
That is a very sobering thought. Wow! So often I just get so complacent, and even though I'm thankful for the blessings as well as the trials ~ granted, those take a little longer to be thankful for ;) ~ I fail to actually thank the Lord for them. Thank you for sharing this. . . it has definitely left a big impression on me!
Wow! That is so powerful. Now I can't get it out of my mind!
ReplyDeleteIt really is powerful, yet so simple. I was so glad I saw that because I truly have SO much to be thankful for!
DeleteWow, that is truly something think about!
ReplyDeleteI seriously could not get it off my mind. Was thinking about it when I went to bed and woke up with the same thought. I hope I don't forget it!
DeleteI had such a bad day yesterday, wallowing in my own petty problems, that I'd be left with very little today. Thanks for the reminder!!!

Wonderful reminder! I'm somewhat new to blogging; would it be ok to use this picture in one of my posts as long as I linked back to your post? Thanks!
