Perspective

I read this online the other day and it has been in my brain, almost constantly, since:  (Probably the point!)

"What would your today be like if you had only the things that you were grateful for yesterday?"

That great dinner your husband (or wife) cooked?  Maybe you were grateful for the dinner, but were you grateful you didn't have to cook it? Or grateful for the person who did?

That hot shower that warmed you up and helped you sleep better.

The warm bed and awesome pillow.

The smiling faces of your children, or grandchildren.

Your home.

Your computer.

You.

What would be missing?

Now, let's look at it from a different perspective:

What would your day be like tomorrow if you had everything that you were grateful for today?

How many things can you do without tomorrow that make your life wonderful today?  Do you have a second to be grateful for everything as it comes along?

The smile of a stranger.

The mailman.

Carpet.

Your phone and the people who stay in contact with you, with it.

God.

Jesus.

Your Church.

Your faith.

This could be the longest post in history, but you get the picture.

Just say "Thanks."
