For what I am thankful

I learned that every thought I have, builds my reality. Most of my thoughts were negative. They only brought me more of the same pain, same depression, some feeling sorry for myself. When I started changing my thoughts, my life started changing.

It sounds simple, but my mind was a seething cauldron of chaos. The background noise was so intense, that I couldn't think clearly for many years.

I would be trapped in my own negative thoughts and did not know how to stop myself from thinking myself to an early grave.

God intervened by bringing to my attention the people, tools, resources that allowed me to start changing.  Change I did.  


For this I am thankful.

I am seeing the marvels in other people.   Where once, strangers were strange, now I see the them as children of God.   All of them have such richness of experience and stories to tell.  I no longer overlook them like I once did.

For this I am thankful.

I have fallen in love with life.    It has another dimension to it now.   The unseen world has made the real world that much more brilliant and wondrous.

For this I am thankful.

I have my family and friends.   I can walk, talk, take care of myself.   These things are gifts.   Not everyone has them.   I can feel the wind on my face, the ground beneath my feet, the touch of another human being.  I can hear the music of the world and sense the presense of God.

For this I am thankful.
