What are you grateful for? We often spend a lot of time and energy focusing on our pressing needs and prayer concerns and forget about the blessings we have.
We all have challenges and needs, but we also have many reasons for gratitude. The key to thanking is thinking. Taking the time to count our blessings is a very important part of our spiritual and emotional health. It is also good for our relationships with others.
This week my wife and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary. I am grateful for a wife who has demonstrated her love and commitment to me for 31 years! She truly is a wonderful blessing in so many ways. As the Bible says:
“Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.” -- Proverbs 31:10, 11 (NLT)
