DAY 5: ABSENCE

Today’s theme is a bit unique. We often give thanks for what we have, but often ignore the absence of things. With gratitude, I can say I have no health issues at the moment, I didn’t marry some kid I had a crush on in high school– you get the idea. You see, there are a lot of things we don’t get in life. And this is a blessing. Have you ever looked back and thought, what was I thinking? God has a way of sparing us from things. Maybe it was a trip, a route, a relationship, a job…

What are you happy is absent from your life? In the words of Beyonce, what was the best thing you never had?
