with Love from Kenya

Live a grateful life

One can soon forget what it means to be healthy,

until one day when you really feel under the weather.

Soon we forget the needy or even

how it felt when we were in that same situation,

when we have more than enough.

Sometimes we even take the meal we are about to eat for granted.

Clean drinkable water

James 1:17 reminds us “Every good gift and every perfect (free,large,full) gift 

is from above, it comes down from the Father of all light, 

in Whom there can be no variation of shadow cast by his turning.”

Not one thing we receive comes from any place else than God himself.

We sometimes forget that.

Yes, we all have different situations, but that doesn’t mean 

we don’t need to be grateful even if we feel we are in a bad spot 

or have a bad day, or endure a great deal of pain somewhere in our body.

You are alive! Forever! And that is a great way to start your day. 

To live by 2 Corinthians 9:15

“Now thanks be to God for His gift, beyond telling 

(His indescribable, inexpressible free gift)”

Beyond telling!

When you wake up every morning as sure as the sun 

comes up every day, thank God that you are able to open 

your eyes, that you are able to breathe (for without it you would be a corpse).

Be grateful that you can get out of bed and have the necessary 

body parts to function in an ordinary manner to complete your daily tasks.

Be grateful

Use what you have

Use your God-given talents no matter how big or how small.

Live who you are in Christ.

Gratitude creates a space in our heart which is filled with love and peace.
