Be Thankful
Be Thankful that you don't already have everything you desire -
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something -
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times-
During those time you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations-
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge-
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes-
They will teach you valuable lessons
Be thankful when your're tired and weary-
Because it means you've made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become you blessings
I love you momma and I am very thankful to have such an awesome
mother and best friend like you! You have the biggest heart of anyone
I know..... And I wouldn't change a thing about you. I love you, and
even though this is a hard time.... We will work through it
together!!!
I love you
Abby
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared
to what lies within us.
