In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

-I Thessalonians 5:18, KJV

Life is frustrating at times.

Injustice is rife in this world.

Yet I am choosing to focus on the gifts in my life. It is a command–after all–that we choose thanksgiving.

I find this frees me from the negativity. Personally, I start feeling noticeably better as I start to focus on the gifts in my life.

This does not change the fact that real injustices exist–especially when dealing with a devious cheater. However, it takes the power back from them.

We are not allowing them keep our spirits down.

Instead, we are filling our hearts with the love God has shown us even in this difficult time by the gifts He continues to give us.
