“Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean, for nothing can be valueless that is given by the most high God” (Thomas a Kempis).

There is no such thing as an insignificant gift from God. There are no small blessings or trivial graces. Everything that comes from God is good and everything that comes from God is worthy of your thanks, if only because it comes from the Almighty maker of heaven and earth.

So many seem bent on only seeing the curse. They only focus on the negative and what’s wrong with their lives and who’s treated them badly. They almost never have a spirit of gratitude. I do believe that if you only look for the bad, you’ll find it and nothing else, but if you look for the good, you’ll find it. If you look for God in everything, you’ll be most blessed because you’ll learn to see blessings in every detail of your life, the good and the bad.

It all starts with giving thanks for the smallest blessing.
