Are You Grateful Every Day?

July 23, 2010




 

sign made of wood - words of gratitude

I Was Never Promised

I know as I sit here, I was never promised an easy life.

  • I was never promised happiness or comfortability.

  • I was never promised a roof over my head or food to eat on a daily basis.

  • I was never promised that my family or I would be healthy and I was never promised that I would develop friendships that I hold dearly.

  • I was never promised that today would be free and that I would have to exchange a day of my life for it.

  • I was never promised that I will make a better tomorrow and with the utmost humility, make a difference in many people's lives.

  • I was never promised clothing to wear on a daily basis and a washing machine and dryer to clean and dry them.

  • I was never promised a direction in life and I certainly was not afforded a road map to get to where I belong.

  • I was never promised the luxury of an automobile or the money to put gas in it.

  • I was never promised that I would live in a modest home and fill it with the essentials to make a house, a home.

  • I was never promised, but I do promise, to never take for granted the things that have been so graciously given to me in my life.

I will give thanks on a daily basis for everything and everyone I touch and that touches me. I, as I sit here writing this to you, I know in a blink of an eye, that all of these things that I have can be gone.

Gratitude, Gratitude, Gratitude...
