Gratitude for the people we share the day with

Gratitude, , ,

The people we share the day with carry our lessons within their words and actions. Let’s be vigilant in our attempts to listen.

We have so much to learn, and that’s why we’re here. Our lives have purpose, even though we might fail to grasp it. Remembering that God is trying to reach us in even the most mundane of circumstances keeps us attentive to everyone in our lives. Our attention to others triggers their lessons too.

The cycle is never-ending. We are not here by accident – we are here by design. The role addiction plays in our lives is part of the design. We can learn our lessons and fulfill our purpose only by acknowledging the spirit, the presence of God, within each person God has ushered to us.

Living, Not Merely Existing

Gratitude, ,

There are so many reasons to be grateful today, but I shall only list down the Top 10 things (1o being the person/thing that I am most grateful for):

  1. Our house never runs out of food. Ever.
  2. I always have the appetite to eat food! :) I will never go anorexic or bulimic.
  3. electricity. I don’t even pay for it and yet I can enjoy all its benefits, most especially the sockets which I use to provide power to my laptop, Benjamin, so that I can make this list!
  4. Benjamin, my laptop. :D He helped me survive a workload of papers during my 1st year in college.
  5. cooking, family Bible study tonight and a good night sleep–these are few of the things I look forward to doing today! Excitement creeps into my life once again. :)
  6. inner and lasting peace and joy thanks to my Father up above.
  7. freedom to read, study, meditate on and memorize the Bible. God is amazing!
  8. prayer. I have an all-access pass to the loving Creator of the universe!
  9. my parents and two handsome brothers who must stand living with me everyday. I don’t know how they do it. :)
  10. God’s amazing love, grace and goodness to me. I wonder what He saw in me when He saved me, but whatever it was, I’m sure it’s not in me yet. =)) :D
