Thankful Thursday

Image

When you think about being thankful, you may be able to grab a list of things as human as being thankful for waking up this morning.  Others may have overcome a trial and they are thankful to come out the other side, like walking through an illness with a family member who’s just been healed.  So what happens when we are in a trial?  If we are to give thanks in all circumstances according to 1 Thessalonians 5:18, then we must learn how to give thanks even when we’re walking through the mud, in pain, struggling, and feeling hopeless.It’s all about perspective. 

If you were driving to work and suddenly your car breaks down and you find yourself on the side of the road calling AAA, could you give thanks?  If the answer is “not really”, let me expand your mind on the situation.

First of all, lets trace back to the beginning.  As we mentioned in this particular scenario that you were “on your way to work”...think about how many people in this world are longing for a job, or struggling day in and day out looking for one.  Think about how many people who are disabled and can’t work but wish they could.  In this instance, it may be a good idea to be thankful that you are an able bodied human being who is blessed to have a job.  Next, lets take a look at “suddenly your car breaks down”.  The scenario didn’t say that your tire popped and you spun out of control only to hit the center divider pinning you between two cars, it merely said your car broke down.  Think about all of the unfortunate events and how in this scenario, you walked away scratch free merely mildly plagued by frustration and not a head injury.  Maybe thanking God that you’re alive would be appropriate right about now.  Lastly, lets review the end.  “...you find yourself on the side of the road calling AAA.”  This one should be straight forward to identify if you’ve ever seen or known someone to be stranded on the side of the road without help and yet here you were calling AAA to come to the rescue. If you see the pattern here, there is always a perspective on how to be thankful.  If you dig even deeper to the omnipresent Lord, you may even ponder how this controlled traffic incident may have possibly saved your life by preventing you from a horrible accident that may have happened down the road.  

Being thankful in ALL circumstances means digging deep.  It means learning how to have a different perspective in every situation.  It also means trusting the Lord that for whatever the reason for your current struggle, He has a bigger plan that is better than anything you could have thought up on your own.  

So the next time you find yourself in a bind, a trial, or even sickness, try and ask God to change your perspective because there’s always something to be thankful for.

Happy Thankful Thursday!

With Love,

HAPPY FRIDAY! Feel good friday is finally here! We wanted to share something wonderful that we found. The couple in the thumbnail about is an elderly couple from Japan. For the duration of two years, The gentleman in the thumbnail had planted a hill full of flowers for his blind wife to experience. Not with sight, but with the sense of smell.  He planted it for her so that she does not miss out on the changing of the seasons. As you can see in the video, local schools and tourists have started to visit the elderly couple. They sit on their blue bench in their flower field and happily greet people who come to look at their field of flowers. 

He may have done this for his wife, but the love for his wife reach out to so many others, creating a place for people to come and see, enjoy and feel their love. This story was so inspiring, we hope it also gave you that feel good. 

Thanks for another great week! See you next week!

THANK GOODNESS ITS THURSDAY! Happy Thursday folks! Its Thankful Thursday! Do you have someone you’re thankful for? Like the brother and sister in this video, is there someone that constantly has your back? Brings happy tears to you? Well take a look at the love that these two share of each other and the gratitude they feel towards each other. 

The love the little sister had, to use her own birthday money for a gift for her brother- and the amount of gratitude that brings her older brother to happy tears.

If there is someone you can think of that brings happiness in your life, call them today- send them a note that you’re thinking of them. Pay that gratitude forwards- and be thankful and happy.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post, and I can’t wait to see you guys again tomorrow! Good luck!

Happy Wednesday! Here is Wisdom Wednesday, delivered by children.

How we treat our children, and what they can learn from adults are amazing. Here a group of young boys explain why they will not use violence on girls.  If children know this amount of wisdom, to know you should not be inflicting pain towards others, us adults should take these words of wisdom from them and implement them in our daily lives. 

It is the American National Statistic that states:  On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. ... 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
-http://ncadv.org/learn-more/statistics

Let us hear the wisdom in these young boys, and take it in and admire their philosophies. As always hope everyone is having a great week! Good luck, till next time!

Happy Tuesday!  Here is your parent TIP TUESDAY! From CreativeWithKids.Com: Here is a short 4 step method you can use to re-start a situation by implementing constructive steps.

We love hearing from you!

Happy Monday Folks! Today’s Motivational Monday is a little different. Instead of a single phrase of motivation- This story of two best friends were so inspiring and moving, we thought it’d be a great story and motivation for you all to aspire to any dream you might have. 

It takes love, passion,and commitment to make it happen. no matter who you are- blind, limbless, poor- it doesn’t matter- if it is what your heart truly desires.  Please take a moment to watch Jia Haixia and  Jia Wenqi’s story- of how two men, best friends decided to change their lives by changing the world.  Good luck! till next time!

HAPPY THURSDAY! and welcome back to Thankful Thursday! When have you last seen your hands and felt grateful? Small things given to us at birth, that we don’t really consider them to be a blessing. I hope that after this thankful Thursday entry that you feel much more thankful for your hands, your health, your ability to feel like you can do anything because it is your birth right. 

When you are thankful you will realize that all the other problems you may have had don’t really compare to the tremendous amount of things to be thankful for.  Good luck guys! And until next time!

Happy Wednesday great folk! Welcome to this week’s Wisdom Wednesday! Now within this hectic week, there might be times where you feel burnt out and that you’re in a deep pit all alone. This is where you must remind yourself that you as an individual have the whole world in you. Your world! And you have every power and strength to change the course of your world. 

So don’t stay sad, and upset- remind yourself there is an entire unique world inside of you, and the way you view things can alter the way your world works. 

Good luck guys! And until next time!

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to parent Tip Tuesday!

Now in this day an age we have come to realize that it doesn’t always take two parents to make things great. To build a great relationship just takes two people to bond. There are lot of single dad’s out there, or even just dad’s that feel like they don’t know how to bond with their daughters in the way that is healthy and progressive.  This dad gives tips to other dad’s and single dad’s that it doesn’t have to be as hard and daunting as it seems. Sometimes its just the moment you spend with them.  Hope this tip helps and inspires! If you know a dad, or to be a dad, single dad- anyone that can benefit from this, reblog and share! Of course let us know if this tip helped and if you’d like to see more of these tips and such! As always, good luck and till next time!!

The only way to get better at something is to keep at it.

Happy Monday! This is your week’s MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY! and today we touch on commitment! Its one thing to start out strong,but you have to end strong to, to finally get to the point where you look back and accept your growth.

So at the start of this week let us keep in mind that starting strong is important, but ending strong is just as important. 

Good luck folks! Until next time!

What are you thankful for today?

Happy Thursday!! Welcome to Thankful Thursday at The Thaddeus Foundation! There is always something to be thankful for- Before you continue your day think of 3 places you’re thankful that exists. A local shop with employees you value who want to deliver their best? A favorite cafe where you catch up with your friends? Your church? School? Parent’s home you can still visit? 

Think about why those places make such an impact and pay that thankfulness forward! Write them a thankful- write a lovely yelp review, etc! Express your gratitude to these spaces that open up and allows you to be a part of a great institution! Spread your gratitude and kindness- it can create a wave of wonderful!

Hope everyone is well and as always GOOD LUCK! and till next time!
