This past week was a hard week to face for many in my high school. This boy I have known since 7th grade passed on Friday. He had been battling brain cancer for several years and I watched this boy struggle through it. But the thing is I never saw him truly struggle! He always looked so happy always seemed to be able to find happiness and the good in all things. This young man was smart also, in advanced courses and all! But he lived his life to the fullest. Most of us take advantage of the life we have: good health, our family, friends, our home and clothes, etc. Earlier this month a students house burnt down another sad event that occurred. However, it seems like these events didn't touch some. Why don't we live life to the fullest? But most of all why aren't we thankful for what we have? Most of the time it seems we don't appreciate what we have until what we have is gone, till it is too late. And why just think about the things we are thankful on or around Thanksgiving? Why not everyday? God has blessed us with wonderful gifts! Thank him for giving you such wonderful things!
1 Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)
Thank the Lord for the wonderful things he provides for you. Because no matter how bad things get God is still God and God is Good! He loves you no matter what! Thank Him for loving you! And because He loves you he provides things for you! So everyday we should be giving thanks for what we do have. Yes, there are things that we don't have that we want... But have you ever said thanks for the things he has provided you with? That is one thing I even have to do better at. God is love!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
