This morning, even before practice starts, though we were late to start and all, I chose to give thanks to God for the opportunity to serve Him that morning with all my brothers and sisters. I wasn't feeling it really, and I could've allowed whatever I was feeling through the week to bring me down, to make choose not to do my best for God. But I chose to remember what God was trying to tell me, and to give thanks to Him. I gave thanks to God for the opportunity to serve Him, for the opportunity to sing for Him. I gave thanks for the freedom that we have in worshipping our Lord without fear. I give thanks for the freedom to lift up my voice and to lift up my hands and to be able to freely proclaim His name to people around me.
Even right now, I choose to give thanks for being able to write this post, to have internet to post it and to share with those who are interested in it. I truly am grateful.
I guess sometimes, we, living our lives everyone, threading on that path that we think will lead us to a better life, we forgot to stop, reflect and thank God for those little things that He has blessed us with. Sometimes, along my life, I do have to admit that, thinking of what I want and dwelling on all those big issues and worries of life, I forgot to thank God for those blessings He have placed along my path.
Lord, thank you for your wonderful and timely reminder. Forgive me for always criticising, thinking of the bad side of things, being negative and even being sarcastic. Help me once again to be positive, to be reminded to give thanks at all times. Change me oh Lord I pray, and make me anew once again in You. I pray this simple pray from the bottom of my heart in the name of my wonderful Lord and Saviour, Jesus... Amen
