7 Days 7 Post Challenge – Day 6
Day 6 - What are you most grateful for in life?
We are nearing the end of the 7 days 7 post challenge created by daysixtyfive.com. Today is day 6. I have really enjoyed this challenge. So today I am to write about what I am most grateful for. There is so much that I am grateful for and everyday I find something else that I am grateful for.
What is being grateful? According to the dictionary grateful is defined as appreciation of benefits. In the bible is says grateful is to give thanks in all circumstances.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I am grateful to my husband; whom without fail always takes care of me. I am grateful to my children; that even when I am not the best mom they still love me and encourage me. I am grateful for my job; God knows I need to take care of someone and put me in the right place. I am grateful for my mom; whom raised me to be a strong individual and always speak up for myself. I am grateful for all my family and friends; whom forever puts up with my eccentric ways and laughs with me, not at me. And I am grateful for God; for always being in my corner, never letting me down.
I am not rich. I live paycheck to paycheck. I do not drive a fancy car or take lavish vacations. My kids were not given everything but had to earn it. However I am rich in love, experiences, trust. Instead of lavish vacations I relish in the weekend getaway with my husband. I am proud that my kids know how to work and save money. I am happy. My husband is happy and my kids are happy. That makes me grateful.
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
