Food for thought

“What if you woke up this morning with only the things that you thanked God for last night?”

What if that were the case? In that simple statement alone, is a great lesson of gratitude and blessings. Do we thank our Heavenly Father for the things that mean the most to us? And if we do thank our Father in Heaven  for the things that we enjoy, what’s really important to us?

If we lived in a world where that was the case and we only had the things that we had thanked God for the night before would we have a abundance of goodness in our lives? Or would our lives be empty of all the good things we enjoy every day?

Every time I get down on my knees, I’m going to ask myself that question:

“What if I woke up this morning with only the things that I thanked God for last night?”
