Being grateful for small issues is just as important as being thankful for the pivotal events of life. But would we be able to celebrate the bigger milestones of life if we aren’t grateful for the ordinary mundane issues? Being grateful for each run of the mill blessing is a training camp for being thankful for life changing blessings. Some big issues may involve pain and suffering but the end result is a deeper surrender to Him. Even smaller life blessings can be filled with hurt, pain and suffering, allowing us to recalibrate our lifestyle. Gratitude is a life changing process, enabling us to develop maturity and trust in God’s provision. Each ordinary moment is a training session for receiving a blessing from the moments of the another Kingdom. Who knows how God will lead us in the near future and in the distance.
“Some of us seem so anxious about avoiding hell that we forget to celebrate our journey toward heaven.” - Philip Yancey, What's So Amazing About Grace?
