How to Wake Up Happier Every Dayનમૂનો

Sometimes we must pause and reflect in order to value the blessings God bestows on us every day. Here are some blessings that we may not think about as often as we should:

Forgotten Blessing #1 – Daily Grace

Where would we be without the grace of God? Because of Christ, we have hope of eternal life. Without Him, we would be without hope. And His grace extends to our lives, forgiving us for our many failures and mistakes. 

Forgotten Blessing #2 – Daily Help

Whether it is as wonderful as a raise or as simple as someone letting you have their parking space, do you take the time to thank God for His help?

Forgotten Blessing #3 – Daily Strength

Whether you must deal with difficult family members or quick-tempered coworkers, it is only God’s strength that will help you. A quick prayer said the moment something irritating happens to us can change a bad situation into something bearable. Yet, many times we forget we even possess such a wellspring of strength much less remember to thank the Lord for it! 

Forgotten Blessing #4 – Daily Encouragement

When was the last time you thanked the Lord for the smile you received in the checkout line or the helping hand at work? While I admit that these occurrences are rare, when they happen, it is important we appreciate it. 

Forgotten Blessing #5 – Daily Comfort

When was the last time you thanked God for the comfort found in His Word? Perhaps you have neglected time for Bible study. Take ten minutes during your lunch hour this week to study His Word. You will find sustaining comfort and strength to get through your week.

Sometimes we forget to thank God for all these things. During this Thanksgiving season, purpose that you will thank God for the things that are easily forgotten—not just during Thanksgiving, but all year long.
