Grateful for the Experiences of Life
I am grateful to God for good experiences that have kept me happy, joyous, made my heart merry and kept my feet dancing on the ground. I am also grateful to God for the seemingly bad experiences because these help me grow closer to God and they help me to become a better version of myself.
Thankful for Painful Experiences
If not for that heart break you may not have met the right person today. If not for that failure you may not have known what it means to try again. If not for that defeat you may not have known what it means to win a battle. If not for that struggle you may not have known what it means to have an easy life. If not for that break up you may not have known what it means to be standing on your own two feet today. If not for that traumatic experience you may not have known what it means to put yourself in other people’s shoes. If not for that character you may not have known what it means to guard your heart. If not for that rejection you may not have known what it feels like to be accepted. If not for that hunger you may not have known what it means to be full.
Heartfelt Thanksgiving to God
Today is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice with thanksgiving in my heart to God and with praises in my mouth. I am glad because this is the day of goodness and of mercy. This is the day of his grace and loving-kindness. This is the day the Lord God provides for all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. This is the day the Lord protects and shelter me from all trouble. This is the day God fights my battles and he gives me victory above all others.
