If you 're like me, you don’t thank God nearly as much as you should. Thoughts of all the homework, laundry, and cleaning you have to do later, or this past weekend’s escapades, or next week’s plans consume your mind. When you’re always running around, rushing from one assignment to the next, from the gym to the shower, to dinner, and back to homework- with a little bit of texting, chatting, and Facebooking in between it is so easy to forget to thank God regularly. The notion that God is the reason we are blessed with an awesome family, group of friends ,and an opportunity to attend Marist slips our minds all too often, or at least for me it does.
Realizing God’s influence in all the good (and even the bad) things in your life can be extremely uplifting. I am sure there are some aspects of your life that you wish were different, but put those thoughts aside for a minute. Instead think about all the blessings in your life. Try and list them all in your head. Doing this puts things into perspective better.
It’s okay to be stressed about an upcoming test or a fight with your significant other, but before these sorts of things become overbearing, realize how much you have to be thankful for in the grand scheme of things; take a change to count your blessings and you may be surprised just how many of them there are.
In between classes, tests, papers, laundry, the gym, text messages, and Facebook, take a little break to recognize God’s incredible generosity in your life… and then don’t forget to say thank-you for it.
