Today, One Thousand Gifts wants you to think about 3 hard eucharisteos. A very suitable one for me today. I had a hard time this morning being grateful. I received news about my Compassionate Care benefits, a leave I took to care for my mom as she recovers from her liver transplant. I have taken 6 weeks of leave, of which only 1 week is left. I finally heard that my claim was accepted but I will only be getting 2 weeks of benefits. I have lost over a month's wages, as the benefits only pay a portion of the wage.
Gratefulness was the farthest thing from my mind. I stomped and cried and even threw a few things. How can I be grateful for this?
1. I am grateful that I didn't know that I would receive this little before I applied. I might not have done it and would have missed out on my time with my mom.
2. I am grateful, that I am even getting this much. This benefit is new.
3. I am grateful that God provides. He has always helped me through before and this is another time to remember to fully rely on him.
Euchariseos. Gratefulness in the hard times.
