It\u2019s easy to be grateful for the gifts of food,<\/strong> clothing, transportation, and the health we acquire through healing and medical and holistic assistance. But what about the gifts we receive through arguments, denial of services and opportunities, imposed hardships, and grief? These are gifts, even though they don\u2019t feel like it at the time we are walking through these experiences. I\u2019d like to give (gift) you a different perspective that may help you to be grateful for \u201ceverything\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years ago, after my first divorce, <\/strong>I received a tax bill from the Federal and State IRS divisions, just as I was about to enter a university program to obtain my Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Nursing. Since my ex-husband did not pay his portion of the taxes for the last year of our marriage, I was held responsible. This meant I could not enter college. I obtained a small loan from my parents (a gift in itself), and I paid the tax obligations. This meant I had to postpone my academic plans for one year, and pay back the money my parents loaned to me. At the time this happened I felt I got the short end of the stick. I took it personally and I was mad at my ex-husband. I filed a claim in small claims court and won. But I knew getting the money owed to me was another matter and would involve more expenses for me. I chose to drop it and devote the energy to seeking my goal of furthering my education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gifts were revealed a year later.<\/strong>\u00a0When I presented the money to my parents, they said, \u201cKeep the money, you don\u2019t owe us anything.\u201d The other gift was my decision to enter the Nursing program had changed. I learned that a Bachelor\u2019s in Business Administration would serve me further and open more doors. A year later, I was\u00a0grateful<\/a>\u00a0for my ex-husband not paying the taxes, grateful for my sense of responsibility, and grateful for my parents graciously helping me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gratitude in our consciousness yields changes<\/strong> in our perspective of negative thoughts to positive ones. The universe is constantly watching and listening to us. The universe is reflecting back to us, and at the same time, giving what we focus on. Its as if the universe asks us, “So, you are grateful. We’ll give you more to be grateful for. And we’ll keep on giving you these until you choose otherwise.” Be mindful of your thoughts. Are they positive? Are they uplifting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this Thanksgiving<\/strong>, let us all be grateful for all the gifts we receive through our joys and sorrows. Although we may not appreciate it at the time, we can still have hope and faith<\/a> that our Creator knows what\u2019s best for us, even if we don\u2019t. I send blessings to all and may your Thanksgiving Day be filled with love and gratitude for All That Is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessings and love!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
