Today Is A Day of New Beginnings

The beginning,

1. Of a new hobby.
2. Of a new hobby-kaki.
3. Of a new friendship with an old friend. :)
4. Of the start of freedom from night/weekend classes.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

All grace that we need, has already been given to us. But no amount of grace is sufficient, if we do not have the attitude of thanksgiving. Because while grace is the gift, thanksgiving is the way by which we receive the grace of God.

God is able to make all grace abound toward us. He is able. But are we willing?

Give thanks, in tough times. Give thanks, for tough times. Because through tough times, we learn;

1. In pain of misunderstanding, we learn the importance of communication & trust.

2. In seemingly unceasing projects, we discover we are not alone; together as one, we persevere & overcome.

3. In exhausting overtime at work, we learn to search our hearts & souls to find what is important to us, prioritise & make a change.

4. In times of doubt & disbelief, we lean upon God's grace to carry on in faith & patience.

Through thanksgiving, the worst things that have happened in our lives become the defining moments that shape our character.

Through thanksgiving, our history is rewritten; we are not victims of circumstances but victors & overcomers.

Through thanksgiving, what we go through makes the better tomorrow that we will live in.

Through thanksgiving, we can turn our scars into stars.

Give thanks & grace can abound in our lives the way God has promised us.

Question is, will we?
