The story goes of a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only three hairs on her head. She smiled a big smile, gave thanks, and said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” And she did, and she went on to have a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. She smiled a big smile, gave thanks, and said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.” And she did, and she went on to have a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only one hair left on her head. She smiled a big smile, gave thanks, and said, “I think I’ll wear my hair in a ponytail today.” And she did, and she went on to have a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw there wasn’t a single hair left on her head! She smiled a big smile, gave thanks, and said, “Whew! I was running out of things to do with my hair!” And she went on to have a wonderful day.
Well, I think we see from that story, that this was a woman who took 1st. Thess 5:18 to heart: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
What about you? And what about me? Are we in the will of God? Have we taken time to give thanks today? Maybe we should. And then maybe we, too, will go on to have a wonderful day.
