EVERYONE HAS A REASON TO GIVE THANKS

This is just a little piece about what I’m thankful for.

Sometimes it’s easy for me to think that someone else has more reason to be thankful than i do.

Truth is no matter what circumstances I am going through, the single fact that I am among the living is enough reason to be thankful.

I could live the healthiest lifestyle ever known, go jogging in the morning, eat little or no carbs, do yoga and meditate; still i cannot guarantee that i will live the next minute.

I have learnt that the art of thanksgiving is the most powerful kind of prayer.

When I give thanks for things I have and things I don’t have, I set myself up for greater and better things to come.

I know I cannot remember all you have done for me but please God forgive my forgetfulness.

I thank you cause I know that next time I will remember even more to give thanks for.

Please spare me a few minutes of your busy schedule and listen to my prayer of thanksgiving.

I am grateful for family,

I am grateful that I found love.

I am grateful that I have learnt to trust and commit.

I am grateful that when I walk down the street people still find courage to say you are beautiful.

I am grateful that I was alive to witness the swearing in of the first black president of the USA even though I’m Nigerian.

I am grateful for so much more than I can ever bring to account. Remember God this is just the tip of the Iceberg of what you have done for me.

For those of us who do not have a specific date set out as thanksgiving, you can pick out a day yourself.

Make it a memorable day like your birthday, wedding anniversary, or a day you were divinely healed from a stubborn illness or miraculously saved from a life threatening accident.

When you pick out this date, mark it on your calendar and spend time on this day every year giving thanks.

I pray that you will always have a reason to give thanks.

Now to my American friends.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!
