A friend and fellow thinker posted the following to his Facebook status update:
There are days when I find it difficult to understand intent. They are usually not the days when life is going great. We often look for understanding in the midst of trial; but infrequently in triumph. We rarely ask WHY, with the "All I Have". But have no problems asking WHY, with the "All I Need". In everything give THANKS....Declare Something Today!!!!!
When times are tough, or intent of occurrences is unclear, we reach to God. However, He can move out of our own focus when things are rolling right along. It takes a discipline of consistent desire, communication and prayer to recognize God in our days of want (and have), in addition to need.
Truly—in everything—all things—all times—we are called to give thanks. We need to keep our antennae up and our heads clear to do this. In order to recognize all things God has created for each of us—unique to ourselves and our individual lives—to be thankful for.
"Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the LORD. - Jeremiah 33:11
