What Are You Thankful For?

Updated: May 3



Do you find it difficult to be thankful for the many blessings in your life?


If so, you're not alone.


Many people find it difficult to be thankful for the blessings in their life, including themselves. Despite this, being thankful is a good thing to do. It helps us connect with others, helps us feel better, and gives us hope. It's important to be thankful for the many blessings in our life, and that includes ourselves. As the saying goes, “You are enough.”


Being thankful for yourself is a great exercise to start being more grateful for yourself. Being thankful for yourself includes being grateful for your abilities and the opportunities you've been given. It requires us to recognize how much we can grow and how much we must learn. Being thankful also means being grateful for the people in our lives who've helped us along the way. They make us who we are and help us achieve the things we want to do. Being thankful for the people in your life helps make them feel appreciated and helps you connect with them more.


Being thankful is a great exercise to start connecting with others and finding ways to help others. It's a way to show gratitude to those who've helped you by helping others who need help as well. It's a way to show gratitude to those who've taught you by helping other students reach their goals. It's a way to show gratitude to those who've cared for you by helping those who can't care for themselves. It's a way to show gratitude to everyone around you by finding ways to give back.


Not everyone feels thankful when thinking about themselves, though. Some people find it difficult to be thankful for the little things in life, like their health or family relationships. It's also difficult for them when they feel like they're not doing enough or aren't good enough. As a result, some people feel overwhelmed and just can't think clearly enough to be thankful for anything.


Putting yourself first when thinking about what you're thankful for is a good exercise that can help you connect with others. It also helps you learn about yourself and others when you think about how grateful you are for yourself. Everyone has something they're thankful for, so it's important to find what that is and share that with others through acts of gratitude. A grateful person makes everyone around them feel better, too!


So, what are you thankful for? Share your thoughts and feelings about being grateful.

Give thanks with a grateful heart. Psalm 86:12 I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and will glorify Your name forever. Give thanks to the Holy One.
