I know, I know. I felt the cobwebs too when I logged on to share this post. I've been away for too long and for those that always read my posts with eagerness within than for the next one, I'm really sorry for this long break.
This year didn't turn out as I'd imagined. Several things happened that broke my spirit and caused me to be quite bitter at some point. Things I dreamed of getting didn't happen, leaving me wondering "Was I exactly as good or as smart as everyone thought"? I cried a few times and I laughed fewer times. Even as God was always just one call away, "I'd had thrown my phone under the bed and completely forgotten I even had a phone". I've not had everything I wanted this year but I've had everything I needed; life, family, friends turned family and most importantly, God.
Throughout this year, I spent most of my time worrying about what I didn't have that I failed to acknowledge what he had given me. I let myself get drawn into a place that I can only say thank God I'm no longer there.
A myopic thanksgiver would be who you are if you fail to appreciate God for the things you have, the little things that everyone seems to forget which some other people really really need. You only focus on the negative or the things that God hasn't done yet, but you're like thank God "sha".
I may not have gotten the result I wanted to graduate with, but I graduated and still with a very good one.
I may not have gotten into the modelling academy I wanted to, but I got to model for a friend's clothing line which I'm honoured to have done. Quick one, watch out for the brand, EsGee by Gloria Amosun.
I may not have had the money to buy all the fancy things I wanted for Christmas, but I had food on my table and I ate to my fill. Yes, I eat in large portions most times but I'm skinny 😌😒
And so many "I may not have" but much more of the "I have". A great man once said, "Thanksgiving is the application for more". Not "basha basha" thanksgiving but the proper type.
Count your blessings my darling, and don't be a myopic thanksgiver. Okay? 😉
