Although Thanksgiving passed us a few months ago, I invite you to join me as I pledge to live a life of thanks in 2011.
Thanks-Living, I suppose you could call it. A Thanks-living lifestyle searches for and finds the many blessings in life on a daily basis.
Think of ‘thanks-living’ as an acquired skill, learned through practice, determined thought and repetition. You might falter and want to give up. But press in. Soon, it will be natural for you to see God’s blessings in the midst of the darkest circumstances.
With enough practice, it won’t seem foreign or strained, it’ll become routine as breathing.
As children, we are taught to brush our teeth every day in order to protect our teeth from decay and disease. If you learn the art of daily thanks-living, you’ll be guarding your heart against hardness; without thanks-living, you open yourself to spiritual decay.
