Thankful Thursday

Good Morning and welcome to another Thankful Thursday. I hope that you have had an amazing week so far.

Today's blog is inspired by a quote I read by James E Faust "As with all commandments , gratitude is a description of a successful mode of living. The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multiple of blessings that continually surround us."  

How do you judge your accomplishments in life? Do you often think that things around you happened because you're lucky? Do you practice the art of finding the little things to be grateful for so you can be rewarded with the bigger things or are things seeming to always be crashing around you and you aren't sure which way is up? I know that it is often easier to focus on the storms and the things going wrong and think that there is something wrong with you instead of looking for the little things to be grateful for while in those storms. Does learning to be grateful take those storms away not always but it does help you see the silver lining and maybe just maybe help you see a way out of that storm? I think it does.  I challenge you to start keeping track of things in your life that you are thankful for and if you're in the middle of a storm of life look internally and see if there is a life lesson that you might need to learn from. Look for the blessings around you instead of the curses and see just how blessed you already are. 

I hope that you will find a way to bless someone else as you go about our day because one simple act of kindness can trickle through tons of people. I hope that you have found value in this message and I hope that you have the most amazing day. I look forward to seeing you next week , remember to always be kind as it costs nothing.  If you see someone without a smile give them yours you really don't know whose life you could change.
