Why am I thankful? Because I believe I cannot take anything for granted. As one who has heard the words “Congestive Heart Failure” and been unable to breathe, I count each breath as a gift (Gen. 2:7). Why can you be thankful? Because you cannot orchestrate, organize or order your life – how do I know this without knowing you? Because I know me and if I could have ordered every aspect of my life, I would have made far fewer mistakes. Why be thankful? Because despite what we may believe, we are not the end all be all authority over all things (Jer. 10:23) but there is One who is and that One cares for us.
Be thankful because you are; there are those who never had the opportunity to be. Be thankful for what is because it could have been another way. Be thankful for potential and possibilities because as long as we have life, we have another chance. Blessings, Rev. Antoinette
