This has been a hard season for everyone. After dealing with Covid at work; fear of it at home with aging loved ones, working through the emotions of ALL that and the new job stressors of people who are late and blame me, I was finding myself sinking into a really stinky attitude. My emotions were raw, making me irritable and exhausted in every way. On my commute to work this past Friday, I heard the Spirit speak softly to me, “You are not thankful.” I know this voice! I’ve heard it for 3 decades! I learned to hear the still, soft, non judge mental voice of God and His Spirit brings me to a complete 180 turn!!!! I didn’t go into doldrums, whipping myself into remorse, or throwing ashes on my head. I gave thanks! Thanks for that reminder, thanks for the love and grace to move and think differently. It altered my whole being; Spirit Mind Body! This is still a challenging time, today a person let me have it because of their late arrival but I sat and gave thanks and lifted my voice to the One Who Loves me Most!!! My encouragement to you...be thankful in all things! Life is not a guarantee of ease or joy it is a promise that we get to make the choice to be thankful!!!❤️
