Simple Is Good

Here in the Midwest of the United States we had some strong storms go through last night, but not as rough as predicted. In troubled times like storms in the sky, it is easy for us to call out to God. I am thankful that we made it through. As I thought about how I am grateful when God delivers us, it seemed to me that this is yet another example of something to be thankful for in life. As I prayed to God, I was asking how to keep that attitude toward Him and all that has been in our lives. In a still small voice I heard, “Tell someone thank you every day.” Wow. That seemed simple.

The more I thought about that today, the more it made sense. It would force me to thank another person earnestly for adding something to my life. I would hear those words, and hearing them would begin to position my mind to want to hear them again.It would give me an attitude of thankfulness that would permeate everything I think or do. This includes God. This has become one of my new daily goals.

Thank you for reading this.

Prayer
Father, thank You for Your wisdom which You give if we ask. Thank You for Your healing, Your provision, Your loving kindness that helps us to go on. Thank You for today. In Jesus name. Amen.
