Gratefulness Extends to Others

After completing the blog on being grateful, I could not rest because there is more to be said about being grateful.  Friends, let’s not forget about all of the people who have made a tremendous impact on our lives.   Let’s be grateful, also, for the people whose paths we crossed that have blessed us or we have blessed them immeasurably.

As we reminisce over our past, most of us can say that someone helped us achieve the goals and missions we have accomplished.  Let’s take some time and be grateful for each person by name or description of event.  Being grateful for the assistance, guidance, gifts, or companionship we received over the years is essential to those involved.  Let’s thank God for them and then if it is possible, contact them and let them know how much they are appreciated.

Remembering the opportunities that we have experienced are another reason to be grateful.  It was not just being at the right place at the right time, but what God has for each of us is ours.  Making the most of each opportunity and being ready to embrace our blessings is essential for a brighter future!

God is able and willing to provide when we have shown maturity and growth.  Part of our growth and maturation includes expressing gratefulness for all of our amazing blessings.  Let’s be mindful that it is important to be grateful even when our opportunity does not fulfill every iota of our dreams.  God knows what we are able to handle successfully and may fulfill our dreams over time.  Either way, it is awesome to be blessed with our needs and some of our wants. Gratefulness is a necessity, not just a choice.
