In the United States, there is a day specially dedicated to thanksgiving. In my opinion, I think a day in a year is just not enough for thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, I believe, should be part and parcel of us. Our days, weeks, months and year, should not end without we counting our blessings and giving thanks for the privilege to call those blessings ours.
I for one, ended the year 2011 on a thankful note. I started the year with lots of issues. It was as though things wouldn't work out. Till the middle of the year, nothing much had changed. It was as though I would end the year on a sad note. But just towards the end of the year, I began experiencing the miraculous. Things just began taking a new turn. I bought a car. I got a scholarship. I moved house. Even my parents shared in blessings of this sort too. We all ended the year with so much joy in our hearts, no regrets.
It's the 4th of January in New Zealand and I may not be aware of what 2012 is looking like for you. Perhaps it's looking like you may not even see the end of it. Maybe things are just getting tougher by the day and thanksgiving isn't a pill for the swallow at the moment.
May I implore you, this is the best time to count your blessings. This is the moment where thanksgiving makes more sense than being depressed. It is the right season to sit in reflection of the good times and give thanks. Change is imminent, but its better side only comes to those who wait in thanksgiving.
On this note, I want to thank you all (fans and readers of Le Dynamique Professeur) for 2011. Sincerely, without you, this blog wouldn't be exisiting in the first place. Without your consistent and perpetual support, I perhaps would have been discouraged and this blog would have become history. I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You made the list of my many blessings because you are indeed a blessing to me.
On behalf of myself and my fiancee (Blessing Agbaje), we would like to wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Keep supporting Le Dynamique Professeur!

ReplyDeleteAm thankful, still thankful.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too, LDP. It's always a pleasure visiting your blog, so supporting no be wahala. And thanks so much for your support on my blog too.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, what you've said is true: it is better to be full of thanksgiving especially when everything seems to be going in the opposite direction. In fact, giving thanks only when things are going our way is shallow. It takes maturity to press on with thanksgiving in the face of adversity.
we are grateful for you too LDP. Always there to put our thoughts back on track..
ReplyDeleteMay your 2012 be filled with Blessing/s.
