Giving thanks is not a natural phenomenon for many people however it is a very important cycle in anyone’s life. Imagine having a child who you always give everything they ask for and then they ran off and never thank. How many times do we thank God, our leaders, parents, spouses et all.

I have learnt in life due to some difficult circumstances I will not enumerate not to take anything or anyone for granted irrespective of age. In this always goes the thanksgiving bit because I did not cause God or that individual to think about offering me that service.

Most importantly lets learn to thank God for everything whether good or bad and accept things we can not change. I was recently shocked in church when my church leader asked us to write down one hundred (100) things we need to thank God for. At first I thought it was a very difficult task and could not come up with ten (10), however as I prayed today in the morning, I decided to give thanks and lo and behold, I spent an hour which I think may add up to a hundred times; oh how we rate ourselves so low at times!!

Try it and you will be surprised on top of being a blessing to your life.
