We go through life not realizing how lucky we are to be here. The things we have, we earn but who makes the path for earning? Who allows the opportunity? Some work even harder than you and I but end up with results far less.
We are people who commit sins day and night, knowingly and unknowingly. Yet Allah swt gives us more and more everyday. Makes me feel a tad embarassed and happy that he is watching over me.
Im grateful Ive a roof over my head I can call home today. I had a rough week and God knows all I want is my pillow and blanky!
I'm grateful for every little Allah has granted me with.
There were many things in life that I wanted to do/accomplish but I couldn't due to some reasons. And so, I'm grateful for accepting that in life it's not possible for you to get everything you want. I'm grateful to Allah for giving me what He thought was better for me.
For my baji. She has been letting me stay with her for almost a year now… im supposed to be here helping her with the baby and yet im the one giving her more of a hard time
for today..... I am thankful for being reunited with my long lost friend and her family.I havent spoken to her in almost 11 years because we lost contact with each other somehow. I have been talking to her for the past 3 days now and I am really looking forward to meeting with her soon. :D
I have actually started a daily routine with my daughters on being thankful for at least one thing every day. I t was tough as I got some reluctant responses from my elder daughter (for whose benefit I had the idea in the first place) like "I am thankful for nothing" but within 10 days, her attitude changed. And now she has sometimes even 5-6 things she wants to say thank you for. In fact she actually tells me "Oh I cant wait to say thank you this evening". I can see how her negative outlook on life (typical of pre-teen) is now improving from a simple technique like this.
As for my lil daughter she comes up with sweet little things like "Thank you for the birds eating food" and she too cant wait for our thank you time.
Thing is I am having a tough time thinking things to be thankful for, but those few minutes force me to look for something good in our lives.
I think everone should visit this thread once a week and say something they are grateful for :)
Today I was thankful that I managed to finish all the extra work I had so I can have my rest on Sunday. And I am always thankful eternally for my two little angels. May God bless them always.
Aww what a nice thread indeed. I am thankful for my laptop which many people don't have the luxury of buying. I am thankful for the food I eat everyday which many people do not have the money of buying. I am thankful for the shoes on my feet, for the water that I get in my bathroom, ...and the list could go on and on.
First and foremost, I am thankful to have my family. NO ONE will ever love you or care for you the way that family does. When it comes down to it, having a loving family can mean the difference between the homeless, hopeless person you see on the street and the well-dressed person who makes purchases in stores. I havent the need to worry about if God forbid, I come down with a fatal illness or if I should become incapacitated. I have FAMILY. I have no need to worry whether my boys will be well-cared for if something should happen to me and hubby. Again, I have FAMILY. I am truly blessed.
Second, I am blessed to be in control of my senses. My SIL is suffering from a rapidly progressing neurological disease and has lost her sense of who she is, who her family is, how to take care of herself, even to remember things that happened less than 5 minutes ago. She is blessed to have family that will ensure that she is cared for....but I am SO thankful to have the use of my brain. I cant IMAGINE going thru the things she is going thru.

Accepting what Allah thought was best for you rather than what you thought was best.
Aly-sam it makes a difference doesnt it? Im really actively trying to make efforts not to take things for granted anymore and look at all the things I DO have rather than only what I want.
I am grateful to have Mashallah an understanding and loving family, grateful to Allah for providing my mother regular treatment and being able to afford it too. I'm grateful to all the cute guys I work with for making my day go by swiftly.. err electricity, running water... the list goes-on!
Eeeeek I forgot to add i'm thankful for good neighbors! That have been always there to help out no matter what! Special thanks to Aylan and Rabail that always help me satisfy all my sweet-tooth cravings in the middle of the night!
Im thankful to MAC and Bobbi Brown..to all the designers too!
I had a rough week and God knows all I want is my pillow and blanky!
