We have so many reasons to be thankful to God. Even in the midst of personal struggle, we can pause and consider that many aspects of life for which we can be thankful. It has been shown that that which we focus upon becomes larger in our lives. If we focus on our disappointments, they seem larger. If we focus on our blessings, they take center stage in our lives. The Psalmist implores us, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy endures forever” (Psalm 107:1). Consider his mercy in your life. Consider the many ways he has blessed you, for in doing so you will appreciate your life.
