What Are You Thankful For

[abide]

When I read the news on Haiti and the flooding that is taking place. I asked myself, what am I thankful for.

I realise that at times we complain about not having this or that, if we are divorced or single, we might want a man in our lives. Our houses might need repair, we might be out of work.

I think at times we need to take a step back and focus on those who are less fortunate than ourselves. I cannot comprehend a house without of running water or electricity, but this is something hundreds of thousand of people have to contend with each day. Food is another, we wake up each, asking ourselves what will I eat to day for breakfast or lunch, many thousands do not have this luxury, they don't know what they will eat and this is an everyday challenge. It is 9.02 in Barbados and I have not eaten breakfast yet, but I know I will have something that is tasty and nourishing.
Many live in countries where they have to dodge bullets, living in fear day after day.

Today I intend to thank God for all that he has done for me and for all that I have. Thanksgiving is not an option.

I am thankful for for a God that makes a way where there seems to be no way and when he closes one door he will open a better one. We either trust him in all things or deny him in everything.

I'm thankful that even if I have problems and feel stressed out a lot lately, I'm still blessed. I know some awesome people who are willing to help and I have the best friends I could have asked for. Plus I have a mother who is doing all she can, and I have a brother who makes me laugh. I have a step-father who truly cares.

It seems I could probably keep this list going for quite a while.
