What Should You Be Grateful For?

-

Hello friends! Welcome back. Hope you had a great time at work and with family this past week. This month is our month of Thanksgiving here in America, and people are already preparing for the celebration coming up this week Thursday.

Today, I want to share something on gratitude. 

Maybe you’ve asked yourself –"What should I be grateful...? I don’t have what I want. Things are not working for me. So, what should I be grateful for?" 

Depending on where you are and what you are going through, there are so many things you can be grateful for in life, my dear! 

From the very things we take for granted to the big things we value most, there are a lot to mention. What about - the fresh air that you breathe in every moment, the organs and tissues in your body that are working just fine, the people around you and your environment that are in harmony, the food and drinks that you eat and enjoy with your family, the health and peace of mind that you cannot buy in the market, the unspeakable joy and love of God that is shared abroad in your heart, and the gift of life itself which you cannot buy with any amount of money; 

So many amazing things to be grateful for. Even things that you are trusting God for, be grateful for them. And your expectation will never be cut short.

I wish God will open your eyes and allow you to see your future. And you’ll be glad all day. And even at that, He told you how beautiful your future is - full of hope and glorious expectations.

So, be grateful for His goodness in your life!

That beautiful song says -

Count your blessings name them one by one
Count your blessings see what God has done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done

Many times, because of how we forget the Lord's goodness in the past, we get too anxious about tomorrow. We forgot that the same Lord who made us overcame the problems of the past can make us overcome the problem of today, and even of tomorrow. 

Therefore, be rest-assured in Him. Do your best and leave the rest to Him. He will bless the works of your hands, and make His face shine upon your path.  

I have sung the song and shared few words of encouragement in this video. Be blessed as you watch. 


We'll continue next week. God bless you and have a wonderful week!

Turning 60 – How It Feels Like!

Welcome back friends. Thanks for stopping by. I’m so excited to share this moment with you as I celebrate my 60th birthday. I’m so grateful to God for making me see 60 good years on the land of the living. This is a lot and it’s a big deal for me. I have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercy and compassion. I have seen the hand of the Lord in every area of my life. When things were difficult; when life was turbulent, the Lord rose for me, He stood by me and made Himself a shield for me. I can’t start counting all the goodness of the Lord. They are so innumerable and unquantifiable.   I thank God for my dear husband (of blessed memory) who served the Lord all through his life and left a great legacy behind. I thank God for my children (both biological and adopted), my siblings, my extended families, my friends, my colleagues and everyone who has been of great blessing in my life.  I can’t count all the people I’ve met in my life – all the people who have been so great and loving, kind and

Embracing A Journey of Resilience And Gratitude

Glad to come your way again, friends! Trust you and your family have been doing great and having a great week. Today marks the 7th year anniversary of passing to glory of my dear husband. It was just like yesterday when the whole incident happened. I thank the Lord who has kept me and my children, and has led us, and continue to lead us in the way of life and fulfillment. I met my husband at my workplace in the year 1990, and ever since then, it has been a journey of love and fulfillment. I knew my husband (Joshua Adeyemi Olojo) as an honest, meticulous, diligent, caring, loving, and God-fearing man. He was someone who loved the Lord wholeheartedly and loved people also. He instilled the habit of serving the Lord in his children, and made it a family tradition for us to always have daily devotion and go to church. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by the Islamic terrorists, my husband was caught in the building, and he nearly died in the incident. Thank

Welcome to 2024, Friends!

With so much gladness in my heart, I welcome you, dear friends, to the New Year 2024. This is a year that we've all been expecting, and thank God, we've entered it. Thank God for His goodness and faithfulness. Where shall we start? Is it to recount how the year 2023 was spent or to plan for the year ahead? I know that at the beginning of the new year like this, many things go through our minds. Questions like – How will the year look? What will happen? Won’t what happened last year occur again this year? And so on. But God is faithful. He will grant us wisdom and understanding to navigate this year. We will receive direction and clarity. We will not be confused or frustrated this year. For we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and work according to His purpose. For this year, we know it’s our blessed year. It’s our prosperous and glorious year. We will not lack any good thing this year. And the Lord will be our sufficiency and provider this year.
