In marriage, you have to keep reminding yourself that your spouse is not an enemy to be conquered. Your spouse is not a competitor to be defeated. You and your spouse are on the same team, fighting the same enemy.

Men, how much we love our wives are indicated by how willing we are to serve her. Not demand of her. Not use her. Not abuse her, but serve her.
A man with a servant’s heart shows he loves his wife. A man with a demanding, my way or the highway heart shows he loves himself.
Let's examine our relationship with the woman we worked so hard to woo and win not so long ago. We served her then by romancing her and demonstrating our love unselfishly. We need to serve her now in the same way. The Jesus way.
Remember: Follow Jesus Christ's example: Love your wife the way he loves you.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Jesus loved the church...." (Ephesians 5:25) for "the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve...." (Mark 10:45).

Praise the Lord for restored marriages! Couples should see that if you put and keep God at your center He will bless your marriage! There is no trial or problem that He can't fix if you fix your eyes on Him!

Be cautious with who you surround yourself with, because being around bad company truly can affect your Spiritual walk. Surround yourself with people who will help you grow in the Lord, those that will lift you up and encourage you in your journey. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says: Do not be misled "Bad company corrupts good character."

Husbands, God adores your wife! She is his little girl… now all grown up. He knew her in the womb, designed her intricately in his image, and entrusted her into your care. Your bride is God’s daughter first and your wife second. Remember to treasure her as God does, and love her as Christ as loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). As you do, you will be faithfully caring for God’s greatest blessing in your life.

10 Ways To Avoid Marrying The Wrong Person!

“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.”

There is a right way and a wrong way to get to know someone for marriage. The wrong way is to get caught up in the excitement and nuance of a budding relationship and in the process completely forget to ask the critical questions that help determine compatibility. One of the biggest mistakes that many young Muslims make is rushing into marriage without properly and thoroughly getting to know someone. A common myth is that the duration of a courtship is an accurate enough measure of how compatible two people are. The logic follows that the longer you speak with someone, the better you will know them. The problem with that premise is that no consideration is given to how that time is spent. Increasingly, young Muslim couples are engaging in “halal dating,” which is basically socializing with each other in the company of friends and/or family. This includes going out to dinner, watching a movie, playing some sport or other leisure activity, etc. Depending on the family or culture, conversations are either minimal & chaperoned or worse, unrestricted and unsupervised. When you consider these limitations it makes one wonder when exactly, if ever at all, would the critical conversations take place? Unfortunately, for many, the answer is never and they live to suffer the consequences. If you or someone you know is in the “getting to know someone” phase, the following guide offers advice on exactly what to look for and avoid:

“…and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable.”

1) Do Not Marry Potential: Oftentimes men consider marrying a woman hoping she never changes while a woman considers marrying a man she hopes she can change. This is the wrong approach on both accounts. Don’t assume that you can change a person after you’re married to them or that they will reach their potential. There is no guarantee, after all, that those changes will be for the better. In fact, it’s often for the worse. If you can’t accept someone or imagine living with them as they are then don’t marry them. These differences can include a number of things such as ideological or practical differences in religion, habits, hygiene, communication skills, etc.

2) Choose Character over Chemistry: While chemistry and attraction are no doubt important, character precedes them both. A famous quote follows, “Chemistry ignites the fire, but character keeps it burning.” The idea of falling “in love” should never be the sole reason for marrying someone; it is very easy to confuse infatuation and lust for love. The most important character traits to look for include humility, kindness, responsibility, & happiness. Here’s a breakdown of each trait:

• Humility: The humble person never makes demands of people but rather always does right by them. They put their values and principles above convenience and comfort. They are slow to anger, are modest, and avoid materialism.
• Kindness: The kind person is the quintessential giver. They seek to please and minimize the pain of others. To know if a person is a giver, observe how they treat their family, siblings, and parents. Do they have gratitude towards their parents for all that they’ve done for them? If not, then know that they will never appreciate what you do for them. How do they treat people they don’t have to be kind towards (i.e. waiters, sales associates, employees, etc)? How do they spend their money? How do they deal with anger; their own anger and their reaction to someone else’s anger?
• Responsibility: A responsible person has stability in their finances, relationships, job, and character. You can you rely on this person and trust what they say.
• Happiness: A happy person is content with their portion in life. They feel good about themselves and good about their life. They focus on what they have rather than on what they don’t have. They very rarely complain.

“The man dreams of a perfect woman and the woman dreams of a perfect man and they don’t know that Allah created them to perfect one another.”

3) Do Not Neglect The Emotional Needs of Your Partner: Both men and women have emotional needs and in order for a partnership to be successful those needs must be mutually met. The fundamental emotional need of a woman is to be loved. The fundamental emotional need of a man is to be respected and appreciated. To make a woman feel loved give her the three AAAs: Attention, Affection, & Appreciation. To make a man feel loved give him the three RRRs: Respect, Reassurance, & Relief. It is the obligation of each partner to make sure the other is happy and this extends to intimacy as well. As long as each partner is fulfilled by the emotional needs of the other, the intimate relationship will thrive. When a man takes seriously the emotional needs of his wife she will feel more encouraged to fulfill his sexual desires. Likewise, when a woman takes seriously the emotional needs of her husband he will feel more encouraged to give her the affection, love and appreciation she wants from him. Working together in this way encourages both giving and receiving.

“Among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility with them and He put love and mercy between your (hearts) : verily in that are signs for those who reflect.”

4) Avoid Opposing Life Plans: In marriage you can either grow together or grow apart. Sharing a common purpose in life will increase the chance that you will grow together.
• You must know what the person is into. In other words, what are they ultimately passionate about? Then ask yourself, “Do I respect this passion?” “Do I respect what they are into?”
• The more specifically you define yourself, i.e., your values, your beliefs, your lifestyle, the better chance you have of finding your life partner, your soul mate, the one you are most compatible with.
• Remember, before you decide who to take along on a trip, you should first figure out your destination.

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.”

5) Avoid Pre-Marital Sexual/Physical Activity:
• Recognize that there is incredible wisdom in why God has ordered us to refrain from intimacy before marriage; they are to prevent great harms as well as to keep sacred what is the most blessed part of a relationship between a man and a woman.
• Aside from the obvious spiritual consequences, when a relationship gets physical before its time, important issues like character, life philosophy, and compatibility go to the wayside. Consequently, everything is romanticized and it becomes difficult to even remember the important issues let alone talk about them.
• Intellectual commitment must be established before emotional or sexual commitment.

6) Avoid Lack of Emotional Connection: There are four questions that you must answer YES to:
• Do I respect and admire this person? What specifically do I respect and admire about this person?
• Do I trust this person? Can I rely on them? Do I trust their judgment? Do I trust their word? Can I believe what they say?
• Do I feel Safe? Do I feel emotionally safe with this person? Can I be vulnerable? Can I be myself? Can I be open? Can I express myself?
• Do I feel calm and at peace with this person?
If the answer is “I don’t know, I’m not sure, etc.” keep evaluating until you know for sure and truly understand how you feel. If you don’t feel safe now, you won’t feel safe when you are married. If you don’t trust now, this won’t change when you are married!

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times always with the same person.

7) Pay Attention to Your Own Emotional Anxiety: Choosing someone you don’t feel safe with emotionally is not a good recipe for a long-lasting and loving marriage. Feeling emotionally safe is the foundation of a strong and healthy marriage. When you don’t feel safe, you can’t express your feelings and opinions. Learn how to identify whether you are in an abusive relationship. If you feel you always have to monitor what you say, if you are with someone and you feel you can’t really express yourself and are always walking on eggshells, then it’s very likely you are in an abusive relationship.

Look for the following things:
• Controlling behavior: This includes controlling the way you act, the way you think, the way you dress, the way you wear your hair/hijab and the way you spend your time. Know the difference between suggestions and demands. Demands are an expression of control and if the demands are implied, than you must do it or there will be consequences. All of these are clear indications of abusive personalities.
• Anger issues: This is someone who raises their voice on a regular basis, who is angry, gets angry at you, uses anger against you, uses put downs, and curses at you, etc. You don’t have to put up with this type of treatment. Many people who tolerate this behavior usually come from abusive backgrounds. If this is the case with you or someone you know, get help right away. Deal with those issues before getting married or before even thinking about getting married.

“None but a noble man treats women in an honorable manner,

and none but an ignorant treats women disgracefully.” ~Hadith

8 ) Beware of Lack of Openness In Your Partner: Many couples make the mistake of not putting everything on the table for discussion from the onset. Ask yourself, “What do I need to know to be absolutely certain I want to marry this person?” “What bothers me about this person or the relationship?” It’s very important to identify what’s bothering you, things that concern you, and things you are afraid to bring up for discussion. Then you must have an honest discussion about them. This is a great way to test the strength of your relationship. Bringing up issues when there’s conflict is a great opportunity to really evaluate how well you communicate, negotiate, and work together as a team. When people get into power struggles and blame each other, it’s an indication they don’t work well as a team. Also important is being vulnerable around each other. Ask deep questions of each other and see how your partner responds. How do they handle it? Are they defensive? Do they attack? Do they withdraw? Do they get annoyed? Do they blame you? Do they ignore it? Do they hide or rationalize it? Don’t just listen to what they say but watch for how they say it!

“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, “You owe me.”

Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky.” ~Hafez

9) Beware of Avoiding Personal Responsibility: It’s very important to remember no one else is responsible for your happiness. Many people make the mistake of thinking someone else will fulfill them and make their life better and that’s their reason for getting married. People fail to realize that if they are unhappy as a single person, they will continue to be miserable when they are married. If you are currently not happy with yourself, don’t like yourself, don’t like the direction your life is going now, it’s important to take responsibility for that now and work on improving those areas of your life before considering marriage. Don’t bring these issues into your marriage and hope your partner will fix them.

“The most perfect believer in faith is the one whose character is finest and who is kindest to his wife.” ~Hadith

10) Watch Out For Lack of Emotional Health and Availability In Your Potential Partner: Many people choose partners that are not emotionally healthy or available. One huge problem is when a partner is unable to balance the emotional ties to family members, the marriage ends up having 3 (or more) people in it rather than two. An example of this would be if a man is overly dependent on his mother and brings that relationship into the marriage; this is no doubt a recipe for disaster.

“A good husband wipes her tears, but a great husband listens to the story of whys she’s crying.” ~Unknown

Also important to consider are the following:
• Avoid people who are emotionally empty inside. These include people who don’t like themselves because they lack the ability to be emotionally available. They are always preoccupied with their deficiencies, insecurities, and negative thoughts. They are in a perpetual fight with depression, never feel good, are isolated, are critical and judgmental; tend to not have any close friends, and often distrust people or are afraid of them. Another clear indication about them is they always feel their needs are not getting met; they have a sense of entitlement and feel angry when they feel people should take care of them and they don’t. They feel burdened by other people’s needs and feel resentment towards them. These people can not be emotionally available to build healthy relationships.
• Addictions can also limit the level of availability of the partner to build a strong emotional relationship. Never marry an addict. Addictions are not limited to drugs and alcohol. They can be about addictions and dependency on work, internet, hobbies, sports, shopping, money, power, status, materialism, etc. When someone has an addiction, they will not and can not be emotionally available to develop an intimate relationship with you!

Additional Points to Consider:
1. The fact is no one looks 25 forever. Ultimately, we love the person we marry for more than their appearance. When we get to know someone we love and admire, we’ll love them for their inner beauty and overall essence.
2. Once we find someone, we consciously or subconsciously want so badly for it all to work that we decide not to question or see what is clearly in front of our eyes: they were rude to the waiter, speaks ill of others, is rude to you, etc. We don’t stop to ask, “What does all of this mean about their character?”
3. Never separate someone from their family, background, education, belief system, etc. Asking clear questions can clarify this. Ask questions like, “What does it mean to have a simple lifestyle?” “What are your expectations of marriage?” “How would you help around the house?” Compare your definition with theirs.
4. Be flexible. Be open-minded!
5. Giving in a happy marriage should not be confused with martyrdom. It should be about taking pleasure and seeing the other person as happy because of your connection with them.
6. Morality and spirituality are the qualities that truly define someone in addition to beauty, money, and health. The morally upright and spiritual person will stand by your side during adversity and hardship. If someone isn’t God-conscience and doesn’t take themselves into account with God then why should you expect them to fulfill their rights owed to you? The ideal partner is someone who considers giving a gain and not causing a loss. Having a mutual and shared spiritual relationship will foster a successful marriage. Furthermore, a successful marriage is one that keeps the laws of family purity which require a certain degree of self-control and self-discipline, as well as the belief that the physical side of the relationship includes the spiritual and emotional side as well. Finding commonality and balance between the spiritual and emotional aspects of a relationship is a strong key to a healthy and thriving marriage.

1. If there is any torment:
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal YOUR heart status. In Jesus name amen.

2. Any strife?
Rebuke any and all evil spirits in the name of Jesus.
Take authority, ask the Lord to remove satans hand from your spouses heart and plea the blood of Jesus over yourselves, marriage and home. In Jesus name amen.

3. Annoint your properties. We do this 1-2 times per month.

4. Read and study your bibles! How can you know what to do if you are not reading the manual?! Get past drinking the milk and grow w God!

5. Pray/Fast till You get your answer(s).
If someone asked you what God told you after you sought His face and you can’t answer… are you earnestly seeking and answer?

“My people perish for lack of knowledge.”

It’s time to grow in all things unto Him and take responsibility for the choices and actions of what you have put into your union.

Divorce rate in America is 50%. Look at the majority of these posts. I rarely read of people praising their spouse or marriage.

I love my husband and am happy to be married!

God can do anything! But if you don’t allow Him in all areas, you are bringing spiritual principles and generational curses based off decisions the rest of the world follows. We are supposed to look different than the world, and I am not seeing many examples of the 30+k members of this “Christian” marriage support group.

What I mainly see supported is, “yes, do whatever you want bc you are hurt”.

Then how is God supposed to show you His power to be able to restore and heal?! Isn’t He “The Lord our healer?”

Is everyone bringing God full heartedly into their challenges and trials or are they just looking to continue to appease their own selfish hearted desires? It seems like most here just want to complain about what their spouse does or doesn’t do that makes them unhappy and they look for anything to divorce.

Once God shows up, and when you seek first Him! Things change, but you have to actually invite Him and believe! Test Gods principles and see if they fail. That will never be the case, it usually means the Individual is the one that gave up.
Then ask God for wisdom and strength to persevere. In Jesus name amen

Join marriage classes! Join Re-engage.

Sure this group can support, but join a weekly class where you can get answers and work that is actually based on biblical and spiritual principle.

To all the people doing their best to give biblical advice and share hope and love. thank you and May God continue to bless you w peace and favor for trying help and minister to the body! In Jesus name amen.

To the others, you can do it! But you gotta pull God into it in a very serious way!

The Almighty power of God awaits you! Your life and marriage!

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:2-3

God created long-term relationships and marriages to be enjoyable and amazing, but they are rarely easy and take a lot of work from both people. God wants you to understand that the hard times or difficult situations that you might face in your relationships happen for a reason, and that good can come out of them. This is why God must be in the center of the relationship so that He can facilitate and guide both of you. God can make good things come out of difficult situations so that you can learn and grow from them, but you must allow Him to lead the relationship fully and completely. Finding the willingness to view the challenges as an opportunity to allow God to work in your relationship will give you the energy and strength you need to continue to move forward and grow your relationship according to His plan.

LET'S PRAY: Dear Heavenly Father, today I ask You to come into our relationship, allow both of us to be understanding, caring and kind. Lord, I ask that You will allow both of us to forgive each other for any wrong doing just like You have forgiven us. Lord, I ask You to lead our relationship and guide both of us to make good choices and decisions every day. Lord, allow us to enjoy every moment of every day that we spend together and appreciate each other wholeheartedly. Lord, allow us to love and respect each other from our heart at all times and in all situations. In Jesus name we pray, Amen✝️

Grace to you 🕊
Blessed Wednesday

The father says today, your release time is at hand. A time to emerge from the hard season of trial, testing and transition. Unknown to you beloved, you’re no longer the same person but have matured into that someone in whom all creation awaits for your manifestation. You are emerging with power and a presence of God that will impact your life and the life of many who you come into contact with. Maintain a life in the spirit, and you will be victorious always. Pursue prayer, worship, and a lifestyle of holiness, and you will triumph over the kingdom of darkness and all that it represents, says God. Guard your heart with all diligence and keep your focus only on things that pertains to life and godliness, says the father.
Beloved, the days ahead are exciting days for you and all who represent the kingdom of God. You are coming into a time of reward, rest and a great recompense. Expect sudden Kingdom movements in your circumstance as I restore your fortunes and make you whole again. Pray for the peace of the world you live in and for the harvest that is coming. You will be a partaker of this harvest and a channel of blessing to many. Your release has been announced in the corridors of heaven and will manifest just at the appointed time, says the father.

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?"

GOD'S GREAT CARE
“Do you know how much God cares for you? In this life we may never come to a full knowledge of just how much, but if we stop to meditate on this verse we might gain a closer understanding.
The Lord has His ways of helping us see His truth. One morning, as I sat alone praying, I was surprised by a soft but constant tapping at my window. It was just after 5 a.m. and still very dark outside. As I looked closer, there at the window's edge was a little sparrow looking right at me, hanging on for dear life. I lifted the window and the little bird came onto my hand and into the house. It was a remarkable moment. The bird then just sat in my lap for a good 30 minutes. During that time it even fell asleep. As it rested, I couldn't help but wonder what could have driven it to my window at the darkest hour of the night. Why wasn't he home with his bird family? Was he scared out of his nest? Was a cat in pursuit of him? I had to ask, "Lord, what's going on here and what does this mean?" The Lord showed me that as I was moved to open the window to receive that helpless, lost and lonely sparrow, so the Lord also desires to take me in. As the bird sat before me and rested, I realized that is what I am to do with God. Just as that little bird feverishly tapped on the glass to come in, I too need to earnestly pursue the Lord.
As the morning dawned, his fellow sparrows began to arrive at the backyard feeders. I invited my wife to join in on the release, so we walked outside and set him down. He began to sample the seed as he flew from feeder to feeder. Back inside the house, I looked out the window to see that the little bird was joined by his fellow aviators and they sang in the morning's arrival.
This little bird may remind you of yourself. There may be times when you feel you are in the dark, alone and desperate. Yet for those of us who believe, there is a day coming when we will enter in before the Lord to a place where we will feast at His table, safe and warm, in His presence forever.”
- Pastor Jack

If you watch the news twenty-four hours a day, you will live worried, fearful, and on edge. Recognize that it's a peace stealer. Put on some good news. Feed your inner person encouraging things that build you up and cause you to be positive, hopeful, and inspired. Life is full of peace stealers. There will always be people and circumstances trying to pull you out of peace. If you’re going to live in peace, you have to put some boundaries up and be careful about what you feed your inner person.

I thought now would be a great time to talk about all of the wonderful things to be thankful for in life, not just on the holidays but each and every day. I shared 41 of my favorites below, along with some beautiful gratitude quotes that I love. Just keep reading!

things to be thankful for

Amazing Things to Be Thankful for Every Day
When everything is all topsy-turvy and we witness one tragedy after another the way we have these last few years, we start to think that the bad outweighs the good. The world seems meaner, colder, and crueler.

It’s easy to get lost in all of that darkness, to amplify the negative until it all but blocks out the positive. We focus so much on what we lost, or what we never had in the first place, that we forget about all of the wonderful things we DO have.

Here’s the thing, though: gratitude is so much better for us than pessimism. Countless studies show that gratitude can boost our mood, make us healthier, keep us feeling hopeful and even improve our romantic relationships. So, let’s take a moment today- and every day- to really think about all of the positive and wonderful things to be thankful for in our lives.

“Today be thankful and think how rich you are. Your family is priceless. Your health is wealth. Your time is gold.”-
“Today be thankful and think how rich you are. Your family is priceless. Your health is wealth. Your time is gold.”-
The Big Stuff: Family, Friends, and All of Our Blessings
When I sit down and think about what I’m most grateful for, my first thoughts are for all of the people I love. So, let’s kick this list off with those. Then we’ll just keep going and see how many other wonderful things there are in this world to be thankful for!

1. All of the amazing kids in our lives
There’s nothing quite like the sound of a child’s laughter. Even if you don’t have kids of your own, chances are your friends or siblings do. Be thankful for the joy that they bring!

2. An amazing partner
Whether it’s a husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or just a friend who is always by your side, we all have at least one good partner supporting us in this life

3. Our parents
Without our parents, we literally wouldn’t exist. So even if you’re not close to your mom or dad, be thankful for the one gift they definitely gave you: your life.

4. Aunts and uncles who are like second parents!
It doesn’t matter if they are our biological aunts and uncles or just really great friends of our parents, they were always there for us when we needed them.

5. All of our wonderful memories with our grandparents
If your grandparents are still with you, be thankful! If they’re not, reflect on all of the amazing memories you made together and the words of wisdom they gave you over the years.

6. The way our pets make our days so much brighter
Even on the darkest days when we feel all alone, our pets give us a reason to get out of bed and brighten up our lives. Studies show dogs even help us live longer!

7. Our in-laws (YES, our in-laws!)
If you’re close, be thankful for all of the support they give you and how they help with the kids. Even if you’re not close, remember that they gave you your wonderful partner in life, so they can’t be all that bad!

8. Cousins!
For many of us, our cousins were our first best friends. At the very least, they made family gatherings so much more fun!

9. Friends who are like family
Friends prove that sometimes you really can choose your family. So even if you don’t have kids, a partner, parents, cousins, or even a pet in your life, if you have even just one good friend, you have something big to be thankful for.

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ― Marcel Proust

― Marcel Proust
10. A roof over our heads
If you have a roof over your head, be thankful. There are SO many people all over the world who aren’t as lucky.

11. The clothes on our back
A warm coat in the winter, a comfy t-shirt in the summer, and that pair of pajamas that wraps you in comfort at night are all things to be thankful for. Not everyone has access to clean, dry, and comfortable clothing.

12. Having enough to eat
Over 800 million people on this planet go to bed hungry every single night. In the United States alone, roughly 10% of households suffer from food insecurity. So, if you have a full belly right now, be thankful.

13. Clean water to drink
Clean water seems like such a strange thing to be grateful for, but again there are millions (about 785 million, according to the latest CDC statistics) of people worldwide who don’t even have that.

Now that we’ve shown gratitude for the really big stuff in our lives, let’s focus on all of the little things we have to be thankful for.

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
All The Small Things That Should Fill Us with Gratitude
I know I’ve said this so many times before, but life isn’t just about the big milestones…it’s about all of the small moments in-between. As you read through this list of smaller things to be thankful for, jot down a few things that really resonate with you. Use them as gratitude journal prompts or just whenever you need a reminder that life really is pretty amazing.

14. Spending a day off with family
A whole day surrounded by the people that you love is definitely something to appreciate.

15. Spending a day off alone
Celebrate the fact that you’ve learned to like being alone. You’re in great company!

16. Getting lost in a good book
There’s nothing quite like getting lost between the pages of a grand adventure, a sweet romance, or even a hilarious story.

17. The fact that we can read at all
Over 780 million people worldwide cannot read these words I’m writing right now. Appreciate the fact that you can. Literacy is a gift.

18. An opportunity to learn something new every day
We wake up each morning with a whole world of learning opportunities literally right at our fingertips. That’s pretty amazing.

19. A chance to learn from our mistakes
As long as you’re still breathing, you have a chance to learn from your mistakes and grow.

20. Having the courage to strive towards our goals
If you’ve taken even one step towards making your dreams come true, be thankful. It takes real courage!

21. Faith in something bigger than us
Whether it’s God, gods, or even science, faith that there’s a meaning to all of this and that there’s something bigger out there than just us is definitely something to be thankful for.

22. A good belly laugh
There’s something so wonderful about that deep down, side-splitting, laugh until you can’t breathe laughter.

23. A good cry
Be thankful for that feeling of relief that washes over you when you just let it all out, and for the fact that you’re not bottling up your emotions.

24. The beach!
If you’re lucky enough to spend even one day with the sand between your toes, count your blessings. There really is nothing like the beach!

That small spot of soothing warmth on a frigid day reminds us that the cold won’t last forever.

Is there anything better than feeling that breeze tickle across your scorching hot skin?

27. The opportunity to travel
Whether it’s by plane to the other side of the world or by car to the other side of town, the chance to get away from our everyday lives is definitely worth our gratitude.

A simple smile from a stranger is enough to remind us that we’re never alone on this planet.

As grateful as we are when someone is kind to us, we should be just as grateful to see others receive random acts of kindness. It’s a constant reminder that there is so much good in this world.

Music soothes the soul. Can you imagine a world without it?

I’d like to personally thank the person who discovered the world’s most delicious treat.

I love when I check out the “what’s streaming next month” lists and discover an old favorite, don’t you?

Splashing around and laughing with those you love most while cooling down is definitely something to be thankful for!

38. Autumn’s first cool, crisp day
It’s just cool enough for your favorite cozy sweater but not so cold that you need to turn on the heat. Just right!

39. That moment right after you finish cleaning your house
Sure, the dog and the kids will mess it up again, but for just one moment everything is exactly in its place and sparkling clean.

40. Time
Time is both short and endless. Even though you always want more, be grateful for the time that you do have. Make the most of it!

41. Just being alive
If you’ve reached the end of this list thinking, “I don’t have this, I don’t have that, nope not that either,” well here’s one that you definitely DO have: your life. The very fact that you are alive right now is definitely something to appreciate.

“At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built, not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; and not our success, but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of love.”
“At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built, not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; and not our success, but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of love.”
I could make a list of a million little things and still never scratch the surface of all of the wonders in this world. Beauty is all around us. If you learn to look for it instead of focusing on the negative, you’ll never run out of things to be thankful for
