Learn to thankful

March 18, 2013 9:38pm CST
I think one major barrier to enjoy life is to always think of something we do not have today, while forget what we have right now. So many fantasies that could not be reached, but I must thankful for the real life. Do you agree?

I feel thankful that I live in a comfortable bungalow ideal for my family. I am happy to have to lovely dogs. I am delighted that I have my children. I have special collections like my costume dolls collected on my travels, my row of miniature houses and my collection of crystals. I am delighted I got them in the past when prices were cheaper. I think in my life I have happiness, good health and to a certain degree good luck. I love my possessions and take good care of them. We must treasure the things we have now and be forever thankful.

Yes it's very easy to forget all the blessings we already have and compare ourselves to others. I'm guilty of that myself. Whenever I get down in the dumps about something I try to remember how bad my situation could be because things could always be worse. That usually makes me feel better and more thankful for all life's little blessings big and small.

I agree with you. Sometimes we can get side tracked from this thinking. But it is very important that we remember to be thankful for the things and the people we have in our life. Other wise we can end up being very side and depressed because we feel our life isn't good enough.

Yes, you are right, friend...thinking about what we have today will make we happy, by thinking about this, we realize that God love us so much, because when we count what we have today, there are many things we have, it is an evidence that God love us, through this action we will enjoy our life and more thankful. We can have goal for future, but don't think it for fantasy, try to make it real by doing real work to reach it...
