This week I'm thankful for open doors. I was just telling a friend that we should always to hope. In one conversation, one phone call, one visit, one meeting... our whole situation could turn around. Right now things may be looking gloomy, but in one minute our whole horizon could change!
THAT, my friends, is what happened to me this week. Not that things looked gloomy, but in a moment a whole new horizon opened up in front of me! Thank you, Lord, for the sudden change!
I'm also thankful for forgiveness this week. I try my best to make things right when I know I messed up. I'm so grateful to have loving friends and family who forgive me when I make mistakes. It's hard saying 'I'm sorry' sometimes, but it's easier to do when you know that the other person will forgive your error. And, even if they don't, I have a God who will always forgive me no matter what! Thank You, Father, for Your forgiveness.
Finally, I'm thankful for joy. Life wouldn't be worth living if you couldn't have joy in the midst of it. We all want to lead happy, fulfilled lives. God's joy helps us to do that. It gives us strength in times of weakness, and helps us through trying times. God's joy eases many pains. Thanks, God, for your joy!
What are you thankful for this week? What wonderful things has God done for you? Make sure you show Him some gratitude today!
Verse of the Day: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25, 26
