045 – Have you ever realized you were taking things for granted in your life?

It happened to me when we recently lost power during a storm. We didn't have electricity or internet for a week. All the things I had taken for granted, like turning on a light switch, checking my email, and using the refrigerator were not options during those seven days.

I really appreciated them all over again when the power came back on!

Important things in life

But there are even more important things that we take for granted sometimes, like the talents and abilities that God gives us or our friends and family.

And sometimes we even take God's love for us or our faith for granted.

In this week's episode, I talk about the importance of not taking anything for granted. But how do we do that?

The remedy is to value all that you have in life and to be grateful.

Learn to value yourself

And please, never take yourself for granted. God has given you abundant talents to do something wonderful and beautiful.

And here's the blog post I mentioned where I made a list of 100 things I was grateful for: Can You Find 100 Things to Be Grateful for?

Have a great week! Thanks for listening. Please share with a friend.

Blessings,
James
