Just Being Thankful
September 24th, 2009 at 7:09 am by Livvie
Good morning everyone! Today, I just wanted to do a “Being Thankful” blog post. It seems there are quite a few people I know, who are going through some very tough situations in their lives right now.
There are those who have lost their jobs, those who have sickness within the family, and those who are sick themselves.
It’s so easy for us to complain about what seems major to us, but when we see what our loved ones and neighbors are going through, we realize…our problem is very minor.
It’s so easy to get wrapped up in self, and not be looking at what’s going on around us. I’m so guilty of that. But then something happens or someone says something and you realize someone may need your help. I’m not talking about financial help…if you have that to help with, that’s great, but what I’m talking about is, your support.
So many times if we can just be there to listen…let me repeat that…to listen, it would mean so much. We all could use someone to listen to what’s going on. Even if you don’t have the answer, as a matter of fact, the person you are listening to probably isn’t wanting an answer…they just need someone to listen.
I’m so thankful I woke up this morning. I’m thankful I was able to get out of the bed and move around. I’m thankful I do have a job to go to. I’m thankful for my wonderful, loving family. I’m thankful for great co-workers…are you getting the picture here? Think about it…really think about it. Start a list of what you are thankful for…you woke up today didn’t you?
So, my challenge to you today: Who around you is having a tough time…could you just offer to listen to them today. It will be a blessing to them to have you listen, but the bigger blessing is to YOU…for taking the time to listen.
