think thankful thoughts


It has been a really hard year for me and I seem to be stuck in a "poor me" attitude lately. I am more focused on negatives rather than positives. I was reading a very motivating blog post last night and I thought it was just the remedy to help me crawl out of my "poor me" hole. THANKFULNESS....... And lets read what the scripture says about thankfulness.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1Thessalonians 5:18

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 
Colossians 4:2

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
Psalms 107:1

God doesn't want us to be thankful when life is going great, but ALL the time! So, I will share 50 things I am most thankful for. I encourage you to do the same.
