This is the day when you look back on your life and remember. The bad and good things that have happened to you. Each and every occurrence has shaped you into who you are today. Hopefully they have made a better you. I give thanks to my wife and parents and family. They have all been blessings. The more you give thanks the more blessings are added to your plate. Look back on the last 5 years and see if you have learned anything about yourself. Take an experience you went through, how did you handle it? How looking back could you have made it better. And say you did learn a lesson, were you able to apply it to your future encounters. We are presented with challenges until we fully understand the lesson why.
There was this gal who's father was a drunk. That was her lot. When she got older she was attracted to a young man who had a problem with the bottle. She felt that she could fix him. Marriage 1 ended without her fixing him. Next up same exact scenario and same ending. After 4 relationships of the same pattern. She finally had to take a look at herself. She was trying to fix the father by using the other guys. When she accepted her shortfalls it opened her up to a way better relationship. Each of those 4 guys gave her the opportunity to see herself. Those 4 guys were blessings. Give thanks for the sometimes unseeing patterns that tie our life together.
That negative experience over many years led her to the light. And she went toward the light at her own speed. You walk the rocky path until you find the smoother part. But one thing is for sure you earned it. You can look hard or not so hard to find something to be thankfull for. Think about those thankfull things not just for today but throughout the coming days.
As far as our nation goes, 2020 was a year to be thankfull for. Back to the light after a taste of fake reality. Also thanks to all the first responders and scientists who worked on getting us the needed vaccine.
