Thanksgiving
If there is something that I have learnt to do this year is being grateful. I sat down a reflected on my life and I shed a tear. I have been so unfair to myself by living a life of complain. I didn’t know this until mid last year when I got a job. I was so happy for God answering this prayer after 10 years of joblessness. The joy was short lived as when I got my deportation letter I had been posted in the far interior part of Nyeri county. I’m from this county but tell me why I had never heard of such a place. I vividly remember my boss trying to explain to me where exactly my working station was and I felt like it was in another planet. She said that there is no tarmac road but food is plenty and I was left wondering does she think I’m a foodie. My reporting day when smooth and funny thing I loved the place though the weather is harsh and access to the town still a struggle.
Upon being given my reporting letter is when I sat down and remembered our interview day. Out of over 2000 applicants only 25 of us got the job. I saw God’s love and favour. I found myself shedding tears for being so mean not to see how blessed I am and prayed for all people who are jobless. After this I gained new strength to face all challenges that comes with my blessings in life. I don’t complain anymore instead I try to look for a reason to thank God in every situation cause He is my guide. Even waking up healthy and alive is a miracle. We don’t even know how or when our body organs does their functions but God the creator does.
One can never have all what one desires in life at once. But with patience, gratitude, obedience, hard work and humility everything will work out in God’s own time. Let’s learn to find a reason to be grateful in every situation in our life.
