Evening Prayers.
When our sons were small,we prayed every night, before they went to sleep.Short prayers and we sang together and then they went to sleep. My one prayer,I prayed every night with them,was this : "Father God,we thank you,for loving us and taking good care of us.We thank you for our family.For food.For a roof over our heads.For toys.For clothes. For bed and pillows and blankets.We thank you,for health and strenght.We thank you,for everything" They liked that prayer.Sometimes,they asked me : "Why you always thank God for pillows and blankets, too ?" And I said..."Because,many people have none of that. Some people do not have homes.Or parents.Or food. Of safety.Or blankets and pillows.So,we need to remember to thank God for all the good things He has given us.The big and small things.All of it. SO,I give thanks to ALL things " But,the fact is,I came from a very poor family. I know what poverty is.I was thankful,my children had food.And toys.And healthy bodies and beds and blankets and pillows. I know from personal experience,what it is to go without.I know,every blessing is special and I do appreciate little things and big things. Like when our children were small,we could never afford to travel.We went Camping and now the boys are grown up and they all still love Camping.That is their favorite thing to do.They had lots of fun riding bikes and swimming and eating outside. But,now as the kids are grown up,we have been traveling and it has been such a treat to me ! I have enjoyed all the trips we have taken and I always remember to say "Thank You" to God ! It is important we develop a mindset that learns to be grateful.Some people have much and others have less,but unless they learn to be thankful in their own circumstances,they will never find happiness. It is important to be thankful for everything. When was the last time,you said... "Thank You,God for health " That is an awesome gift ! If you have friends who are sick and suffer in physical pain,you know... what a huge blessing health is ! We need to be thankful. Or a lady at Church stopped me and gave me a hug. " I will be gone for two weeks.See you,when I come back " She is not my personal friend.But,she is kind. I appreciated that.I said..."Thank you" to God ! She might become a friend to me ! You never know. Everyone at our Church is so amazing.So,I say: "Thank you,God " |
