Thankful Thursday: What VIAMARIE is thankful for this week


I had the chance to see magnificent oceans, hills, forests and meadows spread out around me while I visited 14 towns during the Holy Week. I generally am too occupied, too involved in what must be accomplished today or tomorrow to notice what is taking place around me that is why when I had the time to look beyond myself did I realize that all my problems seem minimal in comparison to the vastness and beauty of creation which surrounds me. I am very thankful for the chance to look up from my daily task to appreciate the God-given beauty of my environment.

It's nice to know you had a nice time during the Holy Week break. It's nice to know that people like you can be thankful for what they have instead of whining over something they don't have.

Amen Viamarie! There are so many beautiful things around us and sometimes we don't seem to have the time to look at them closely. I am glad that you took the time :)

I love seeing the ocean. I can't wait until Sept when I can go back.

Have a wonderful day ;)

It's always good to be outdoors and see the wonders of nature and be transformed in a way, isn't it? Glad it was so restorative for you.

Well-said. Sometimes we forget to be thankful instead of worried, stressed, angry or sad. Thanks for reminding me.
