Day 32 of GC

Thank you for the sermon today. When I was praying with my wife the very first moment my tears fell. I knew we went through a lot for the past two years and giving thanks for the grace and providence of God just could not keep my tears away. Thank you for everything, the highs and the lows and everything in between. Thank you. Photo by  Shannon S  on  Unsplash

Day 31 of GC

Today is another great day. Accomplished what I set out to achieved in work and also managed to catch a great movie "Aquaman" with my family. Although not my favourite superhero, the movie was still great and the story pretty compact given the long runtime.

Thank God that I can have a great Friday of learning and relaxation. I give thanks for this wonderful day and many more of such days ahead. I must let go of the earthly things in order to have the heavenly things. Things not so different but the source is that where determines where it is from. I love my life. Thank you.

Day 18 of GC

Image
I'm happy and grateful today that I have the chance to practice being grateful even to someone who made me feel angry. It gave me the chance to forgive myself and that person and hence give thanks for that opportunity. We are someone who we create and all those around us is but a reflection of our being inside of us. I must have been angry with something but I took that chance to get rid of my anger and chose to forgive. Thank you. Photo by  Felix Koutchinski  on  Unsplash

Day 9 of GC

Give thanks for having a good class with a notorious name. I give thanks for another wonderful day where I complete much work. Day 9 is great, if I ever fall into a bad patch again, I know I can pick up again and continue. Thank you for everything in my life. Want to also give thanks for my bills and that I can pay them gladly.

Day 8 of GC

It is only day 8 and I'm feeling the heat. Everything is difficult in the beginning, I'm experiencing this now. Yes, I was not that great at work and hence feeling pretty down. I still must give thanks, today is over and tomorrow is another great day. Thank you for the bad days so that good day will become great!

Day 7 of GC

Missed 2 days of GC, really regretful. I need to up my game to maintain this challenge. I'm grateful that I have many good colleagues to work with even when the work is tough and stressful. I'm still thankful that I have so many good things going for me.

Day 6 of the GC

I was caught in the rain when doing my morning jog. I watched the raindrops fall and started to wonder to myself how many things I should have given thanks for. Even the rain was something I should give thanks for. The amazing raindrops falling from the sky and the wonderful reminder that I have not been in the rain for a long time since my youth days. I give thanks for the rain. Thank you.

Day 5 of GC

I give thanks for my Job today. I am doing a job that I like and am happy with it. I can help children to reach their potential. Teaching them values and become useful citizens is something I'm passionate about. Many years ago when I decide to pursue this career choice, my parents were against it but I knew very well that this is what I want and I finally convinced them of my choice. I thank you for my wonderful job.

Day 4 of GC

Image
Today is day 4. I'm grateful to have an early day off work and able to solve my dental problems having to plague me for months. I'm grateful for a family meal out (@Jacob's Cafe) to celebrate the success of my daughter. I truly hope that she has learnt to overcome difficulty so that she can succeed in whatever she does. A very grateful day indeed. Thank you.

Day 3 of Gratitude Challenge

Today's GC I would like to say thank you to my family. Not the one I have right now but the one that I grew up in. I didn't really learn a lot from my parents but I thank God that they have given me everything I ever need. I also want to give thanks to my sisters, to whom I'm still having a great relationship with. I looked and tried to recall very hard then I realised my family had never really had a family photo taken ever since I was born. I love my family and I missed my Dad and Mum.

2nd Day of Gratitude Challenge

Image
Today, I would like to give thanks for my wonderful daughter. I may not have been the best dad in her life but she has slowly grown to become a young lady much to the influence of her mum. I give thanks that she is growing up well and I'm confident that she will only get better and better. I love you, Sherlene.

100 days of gratitude

Image
I have decided to start on this meaningful adventure of giving thanks for 100 consecutive days. I hope I would become better and appreciate all that is important to me in my life. I also thank you for reading this and coming along with me on this journey. The first person I want to be grateful to is my beautiful wife. She is the perfect wife given to me by God and she has truly become my support in times of failure and hurt. I give thanks for having this wonderful lady in my life and I want to be forever grateful for my partner. I now only want to provide her with everything she needs and be with her for the rest of my life.
