As we embark on a new week, the last one becomes a page in history, marked by memories we cherish and moments we wish to forget. Life unfolds with a mix of experiences, some we hope to erase quickly, while others become the foundation for better days ahead.
Consider this: the very fact that you and I have awakened today is a gift from the hands of God. Reflect on the morning routines—having breakfast, commuting to work. Pause and give thanks, for the alternative could have been waking up in a hospital. Every moment, every step, is an opportunity for gratitude.
Recall the tale of the sun, once a relentless complainer until it encountered a man with only one hand who cherished the ability to work. The encounter transformed the sun’s perspective, prompting gratitude for the two hands and two feet it possessed. In our daily journey, let’s echo this sentiment: “Why should I not be thankful for how good God has been to me?”
Above all, as believers, we carry the ultimate reason for gratitude—Jesus Christ. His sacrifice on the cross speaks of a goodness that surpasses all understanding. Today’s crosspoint invites you to cultivate a spirit of thankfulness in every moment, recognizing the goodness that surrounds you. Have a blessed day.
