Today, I’m grateful for:
Mistakes I've made. Without them, I wouldn't know how forgiving our Father is. We are so lucky to commit so many transgressions and fail so many times, yet still have His love and His forgiveness. Also, we have the opportunity to learn from these mistakes, and use them to lead us to new personal growth and knowledge. The mistakes we make can seem like the worst case scenario in the moment, but often when we look back, we come to realize that perhaps they were just part of a greater plan, and also that they were not as bad as they could have been. Sometimes time provides the perspective to realize that even in our mistakes, God was watching over us and limiting the "damage", so to speak. Mistakes thus teach us in many more ways than one.
Another day of life!
God's forgiveness, even when we make those mistakes.
We can never count our blessings enough, so I will look to make my gratitude different each time, as I continue to be given so much every day.
But every day, #2 will be my expression of gratitude for the chance to live another day, as it truly is a gift, not a guarantee. And #3 will always be dedicated to Him, for being our eternal guidance and our loving Father.
What are you grateful for?
