I’m Thankful For 2012 Are You Thankful?

2012 is one year many people will like to forget in a hurry given all that happened in the year. AT A POINT, I thought this year was never going to end but right before our very eyes, 2012 is winding up.

As the year draws to a close, I realize that I have a lot to be thankful for... so much that I cannot put together in one single note. GOD HAS BEEN GOOD ALL YEAR ROUND.

I’m taking this time to do what I love to do every year so here are some random things in no particular order that I’m thankful for!

First and foremost, I am eternally thankful for a relationship with God MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. The mystery of God’s love continues to amaze me. But for His grace and love, I wonder where/what I’d be.

I’m thankful for my family (nuclear and extended): my mother who raised me in the Lord and have always loved me, my brother Sam, and my sisters Katharine and Mercy for how they have enriched my life. MY SIBLINGS ARE THE MOST WONDERFUL, KIND, LOVING, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE I KNOW.

I’m thankful for my niece Divine and nephew Daniel and the JOY I get whenever I’m around them. They are both beautiful gifts from God. Each is so uniquely different and yet so precious.

I’m thankful for Radisson Blu- the company WHERE I EARN MY DAILY LIVING. I'm grateful to Mr. Ayoola, Mr. David, Mr. Isa and Mrs. Juwah for believing in me. I have a privileged position and I'm not taking it for granted.

I’m thankful for my Church, Church Of God Mission International (CGMi) and my Pastor who allows me to serve in various ways. I’m thankful for All Nations for Christ Bible Institute where I’m studying to know more about God.

I’m thankful for a great mentors and friends who enrich my life. I’m grateful for their willingness to listen, counsel and advice me on pertinent issues and random things. I’M HUMBLED TO HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.

I’m thankful for people like Ben Carson, Myles Munroe, John Hagee, Bishop TD Jakes and other wonderful authors. Although I didn't do so much reading this year, I'm thankful for GOOD BOOKS THAT INFORMED AND INSPIRED ME IN MANY AREAS.

I'm grateful to everyone who called me to order whenever I went off course. OPEN REBUKE SCRIPTURES SAY IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE. Your corrections made me a better person. A special thanks to Mrs. Isioma Fidel-Ewerem.

I’m thankful for s senior friend and brother- AJIBOLA WAHAB BABATUNDE for good, deep, rich, and wonderful friendship that inspires me to be my best at all times.

I'm thankful for this woman of God, Bolaji Blessing. I'm grateful for how she has blessed to my life, HER GODLY HEART, HER GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, HER WISDOM, HER TIME AND ALL SHE SHARES WITH ME.

I’m thankful for annoying people, trials, temptations and character-building challenges that I encountered this year.

I’m thankful for the many souls that found JESUS this year. And I urge Christians everywhere to REACH OUT MORE with the GOSPEL of SALVATION. There is little or no time to spare.

I’m grateful to everyone who took time to see my blog, read my notes, like and comment, retweet, favorite and share my tweet/post and write ups. I didn't do a lot of writing this year but God helping, I will do more next year.

I’m thankful for our continent AFRICA. Despite everything the enemy planned to destabilize the continent, GOD STILL KEPT US TOGETHER AS ONE PEOPLE. Don’t relent in praying for AFRICA and for THOSE IN AUTHORITY.

I’m humbled and thankful for the love and support I get on face book, twitter and my blog site. It means a lot to me. I’m glad God uses (little) me to encourage you guys! I sincerely do appreciate all of you! Much love!

Lastly, I’m thankful for you. YES YOU reading this NOTE. I may not have mentioned you but believe me I’m thankful for you. THANKS FOR BEING PART OF MY LIFE.

Let me end by encouraging anyone who is going through whatever challenge.  Life sometimes gets tough and situations get hard yet, we should never give in or give up. NO MATTER WHAT BE THANKFUL AND ENDEAVOR TO MUST FINISH THE YEAR STRONG.

Be encouraged! The promises of GOD are yea and Amen. The year isn’t over yet. God can still make happen that miracle you are trusting HIM for. Do NOT give up. Do NOT lose hope.

As the year comes to an end, I challenge you to focus on thanking God from the depth of your heart and nothing more. YOU may have some needs yet to be met (we all have needs) but if you are grateful- guess what? GOD will do more.

 

Gratitude has a way of drawing down blessings from HEAVEN so end the year on the high. Don’t give in to despair because of the many circumstances you may be going through or might have gone through. If you look deep down, you will realize that there are so many reasons to give God praise! If not for anything, you are alive.

 

End the year on a grateful note!!!
