Thankful Thursday: The first Thankful Thursday in 2016

Istijlal (Majesty), 8 Sharaf (Honor), 172 BE - Thursday, January 7, 2016 about 12:10 PM Pacific Standard Time

On the first Thankful Thursday in 2016,
I contemplate the New Year
and wonder
what joyful surprises God has in store
for me.

This past year, I attempted to keep a ten-item gratitude list everyday. Sometimes I found ten items to be thankful for and sometimes I found less then five, but I always found something to be grateful for. As a results of this effort to give thanks everyday my attitude has changed. I am less worried about things and I put more faith in God. I found that the only way to change worry to faith it to be grateful for what I have.
