Four Things I Learned While Living in a Garage – Two

Two – Be thankful for what you have.                                                                       

As I turn the spotlight away from illuminating what I don't have – and shine it on what I do, thanksgiving fills my heart. Contentment is a gift and a natural result of this shift in focus. The basics of life often go unnoticed and unappreciated too. I know God is smiling when I thank Him for the food I have to prepare for my family, the shelter over my head (especially when it is raining), and the hot water in my shower! Thanking the Lord for providing for my basic needs when others go without brings me to my knees and causes my heart to grow with humble gratitude!
