Gratitude Day 1

An African saying states, “I am because you are.” It’s important to take a moment to sincerely thank those who have always stood by our side.

Today, I want to take a moment to thank those who have supported me. Friends, we all have people who stood by us during our most challenging times. I invite you to join me in remembering and appreciating them. Consider sending a thank-you letter, text, email, or gift to show your gratitude.

I don’t want to write an extensive thesis on this topic, but I often reflect on opportunities that seem to have been missed. I’ve come to understand that every failure has guided me toward success. I have no regrets. As a lifelong learner, I recognize that each lesson reveals deeper truths about my existence. I am grateful for the gift of discernment and thankful to God for placing these kind people strategically along my journey to assist with my growth.

For some reason, I will only mention their initials. I know that most of them will likely never see this, but I believe that my prayers, well wishes, and positive energy will always find a way to touch the lives of these good people.

First and foremost, I am grateful to have a wonderful and supportive family, including my parents, siblings, relatives, and friends. I also want to express my gratitude to my professors, TT, MS, IA, JL, UN, WM, and Pastor HC, M, and C. While I may not be able to mention everyone by name, I genuinely appreciate every act of kindness you have shown me. May God bless you all abundantly.

You may not realize how much you have helped me. Your support has played a significant role in my growth. I hold a special place in my heart for you, filled with respect and honor. I wish that the sun shines bright in all your endeavors! Thank you!

As a Christian, I owe everything—my successes, growth, and whatever I have become or will be—to the glory of God Almighty!
