‘I just
want to know what the wooden chips in the bowl was. I have seen you eat those’
he said.
My eyes were wide with shock of what the young man
asked.
‘What do you mean?’ Wanting to clear myself of
every assumption.
'Please don’t be embarrassed. I don’t know what it
is'. He replied.
His disposition gave away his sincerity.
'Ok it is called Cornflakes!'
Satisfying his curiosity, he made an exit.
…friends I reclined into my office chair thought
deeply about what just happened.
Friends, I am not ashamed to say that incident
took my thankful attitude to a whole new altitude.
Be Thankful For the Very Ordinary Things In Your Life
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with
benefits, even the God of our salvation.
Psalm 68:19
The Lord grants us daily graces,
God gives us daily benefits,
He gives us daily blessings.
I began to thank God for every little bit of thing
in my life including ‘cornflakes’.
'Cornflakes' could be the people, the things or the events around you.
I learnt something I can’t forget in a hurry.
I learnt to be thankful for every chip of
cornflakes in plate.😉
I learnt that what seems like ordinary is someone’s
miracle.
Yes dear friend,
the broken car in your garage,
the old toys and clothes,
the littlest room in your apartment,
the out of vogue
shoes and household items,
running water in your home,
garden of flowers… all of it and
loads more is someone’s dream come true.
In that encounter, God showed me how thankfulness
can be seen in small but awesome ways.
Enter
into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful
unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is
good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Let’s take our thankfulness to another level.
This thanksgiving month…instead facing the circumstances,
face the seemingly ‘very ordinary’ daily miracles
Think about all the ordinary things in your daily
life you certainly don’t pay for or pray for.
Think about the very ordinary things that beg for
you to notice them.
Think about the ‘ordinary people’ too you take for
granted.
Be thankful for them.
By His Great Grace,
Ifeoma Samuel
