THANK YOU,PERIOD

Lately I don't dream at night. Could be because I dream a lot during the day. So last week by rare chance I dreamt.

In the dream I was in this big building that had a loooong  corridor. Then this well dressed man came with a tray of snacks which he passed to everyone. On picking the snack, I said thank you. He came back and I picked another. Every time I said thank you, he passed the tray my way again. For five consecutive times he came my way. I watched him distribute to the rest.

For everyone who said thank you he passed the tray again. For anyone who forgot to say thank you, He did not return that way..

I woke up from my sleep. Hungry. Haha.It was just a dream. I had not snacked on anything.. That was a funny dream if you ask me.. I remembered it today and smiled. It didn't mean anything at that time but on second thought I picked a lesson. That there is power in thanksgiving. There is power in appreciating the blessings we receive each day;big and small alike. 

 Some blessings are easy to overlook because the constitution says it's our right. For instance, We have a right to live.  It says we have a right of speech, yet it is God who gives  the very mouth. The right of association, but it is God who gives the people with whom to associate.Otherwise, life is but a blessing. Food shelter and the normalcy are simply blessings.

As we thank our government for guaranteeing us some rights and freedoms... In the real sense God is the source of it all.I thought of reminding us to be grateful for all.. As we give thanks we open doors  and pave way for more blessings to flow our way.. Ask Jesus how He managed to feed more than five thousand hungry people and still have baskets of left overs.The Bible record that He GAVE THANKS.. and the food multiplied.

Luke 9:16-17

16Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people

 17They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Friend, there is power in thanksgiving. As you pray for more, remember to thank for that which you already have. Once you are done reading, you can take a moment of silence, in thanksgiving for all you already have.Your rights. Everything that is seemingly normal.
