Remember when you prayed or merely wished for what you have now?
How often do you take a minute to say thank you for that?
As humans, once we receive what we’ve been asking for, we tend to move on from one thing to the next so quick that we barely take time to thank God and the universe for giving it to us.
We take things for granted and even feel entitled to living and receiving.
Last Sunday but one I got to church late but right on time for testimonies. One of the lead pastors was testifying and giving thanks for bicycles he had just gotten miraculously for himself, his wife, and the kids.
Being human, at the back of my mind I was like “aiya, kumbe hata baiskeli is something to be thankful for?”
I know I am not the only one who might have felt the same way.
In that moment though, was the greatest lesson. Gratitude even for the smallest of things goes a long way.
At that moment, I challenged myself to learn and give thanks for anything and everything, be it the people in my life, be it a cup of water, be it the little change in my pocket, be it the food on my table, the roof above my head, or even big things like the peaceful elections we just held.
I tell you what? It has been a game changer for me!
Gratitude attracts great things.
Choosing to need nothing but give thanks for everything attracts abundance.
I challenge you for the remaining part of the month. For a change, stop asking for anything. In stead, write down something you are grateful for each day.
Love and light.
