I am Thankful

Got this quote from the book of Lectio Divina, Feb 2010, It says..

I am thankful that I don't already have everything I desire,
If I did, what would there be to look forward to?

I am thankful when I don't know something
For ti gives me the opportunity to learn.

I am thankful for the difficult times.
During those times, I grow.

I am thankful for my dark nights,
For God is there in the most profound level.


I am thankful for my limitations,
Because they give me opportunities for improvement.

I am thankful for each new challenge,
Because it build my strength and character.

I am thankful for my mistakes,
It taught me valuable lessons.

I am thankful when I am tired and weary,
Because it means that I have 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. My only thoughts and hope is that I would continue to find a way to be thankful for my troubles so that they can become my blessing, that I will not easily forget my root, the hardship that I have gone through to be where I am now, that what I have at the moment is just temporary, I am only passing through
