The world is a depressing place today. So much so that I have become so wrapped up in the idiocy, idolatry and corruption we are cursed with that I tend to forget how blessed I am to live in the USA despite the evil that surrounds me.
I went for a walk early this morning near the Port of LA with at least 50 container ships anchored off the coast and felt depressed and hopeless seeing that, but then watched the sunrise. It reminded me that life itself is a blessing and there will always be a new day full of beauty and new opportunities.
I knelt in the sand, bowed my head, praised and thanked the Lord, and felt my spirit renewed which reminded me that life is not perfect but the Lord always promises us new day.
Curious to know what other FReepers are grateful for
Amen
Remember that things are not falling apart. They are coming together.

Every day of life and knowing that He is in charge.
Awesome! Bless you.
A very uplifting post! Thank you FRiend!
I am very grateful to God for another year of life, on this, my 59th birthday.
Hard to believe because God promised me that I would never get older than 25. ;)
Seriously, as you indicated, every day is a gift. Even with a decrepit old fool in the White House.
Let’s be thankful for what we’ve got.
You’re right!
Five stellar grandchildren. Solvency. Good friends. Good health. The certain knowledge that evil will eventually and permanently be eradicated.
God is good all the time, all the time God is good, Amen.
Amen! Every day is another day to be grateful to be alive. Praise the Lord and Pray for Strength
I thank the Lord every morning and evening for another day.
I read the blurb and sometimes take the quiz regarding the picture on the Bing page when my computer opens each day. It reminds me of unique places, people, animals, history, etc. around the world, and that not everything is politics, violence, hatred, etc.
Pretty good considering we are living in the apocalypse.
At the moment I’m grateful for your post.
I’m grateful for the sunrise and the sunset every morning and evening. When I look at the sky and watch daylight creep in and the beautiful sunsets I feel like I’m part of the whole universe and I find that comforting.
I’m grateful for the roof over my head, for a well stocked pantry, for not feeling anxious or depressed.
I’m grateful for my bed, and for all the creature comforts I have.
I’m grateful to God and for all of His blessings.
+10000
Blessed to have my family, my health and a career. Thank you, Lord.
How beautiful!
I am thankful for a 70 degree day with sunshine and breeze allowing us another couple of hours on on our screened in porch after-and before-trios of too cool and rainy Fall days.
Yet another blessing despite our ugly world.
