Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Phil. 4:6
In Honduras there is so much to be anxious about...where will the next meal come from? Will they have water or clothes....not to mention a job? But the people of Taulabe Honduras give thanks...and they trust in God for all their needs.
The recent holiday of Thanksgiving has made me stop and pause & think about the things I am thankful for...and my list includes God, Family, Friends, a home, etc. but am I thankful every day? I am ashamed to say no. If I went to bed hungry for one night would I be more thankful? Probably not...because I have no idea what it is like to go to bed hungry but there are many nights that the people of Honduras go to bed hungry and cold...dirty....but thankful.
They are not anxious but thankful. They know what it is like to truly trust God for everything. In some ways I envy them.
God is so awesome!!! He takes care of those that are poor in spirit, like me...and poorer at times then those who have nothing.
Thank you Lord for loving me so much!
