GRATITUDE

There is an adage in the Yoruba culture of West Africa, Nigeria, that says, if you can think, you would know how to thank God, I had  thought I would not have reasons to be thankful this year, but there is really a lot to be thankful for.

So here goes a list of things I am thankful for.

Gratitude 1
You know, when you walk into a service, and the man of God just says something pertaining what you are going through? That's what I am talking about, I am grateful because God always meets me at the point of my need, nothing is as reassuring as knowing God is with you. Nothing beats that!



Gratitude 2
I am grateful for  the gift of laughter, imagine going through all life's journey and there is no opportunity to laugh. I am thankful for a good sense of humor God has given me, People who know me know my laughter can be extreme, I laugh and cry at the same time, I am so grateful for laughter.

Gratitude 3
I am grateful for Nature! The joy I feel when I walk barefooted on a sandy beach, the water that gushes at a spring, the way the water waves rush and stop at the boundary. The clear Sky, the breeze that blows on our skin when you are in a speed boat! I am so grateful.

I know a lot of people have been waiting for this! 😁
I will tell a short story, when I started my weight loss in March, I was so eager, I would ask my colleagues and friends, do you know "do you know I am loosing weight? " they would all laugh and say "Ore Ore, you are really loosing weight" lepacious Ore " It took time, I almost gave gave up, but there was  one thing, I noticed a change in my body but they did not, it took a long (emphasis on long) time before they noticed. People might not see what is going on with you, but you do, keep at it.




Before.....meet Funke! 




After....

I am grateful for the zeal God has put in us, a friend of mine always says you can achieve what ever you put your mind to do, as long as you are determined. I am grateful for a number of people I am getting to inspire on a daily basis, not just for weight loss, but been healthy and keeping fit, I am grateful for workout! Gosh!  love working out! I am grateful for  so many health benefits that come from working out, it makes me understand process.

Gratitude 5

Remember when you wanted something so bad and your mum or dad stopped you from having them, you did not like the idea only to discover that they had good intentions for you, I am grateful that I do not understand or know why certain things are the way they are but I know everything is for our interest at the long run.

Gratitude 5

I am grateful for People, God sometimes puts himself in people, there are people you meet and they are God sent, these guys are heaven sent. I am grateful for the People that I met this year, the people that our paths crossed.
