There are thousands of things to be grateful for in life, but it all depends on an individual point of view and how they have seen life itself. For one to be grateful for somethings in life, he/she must have gone through so many things, because you can't just ask a 3 years old baby what he's most grateful for in life because at that stage the only thing he knows is to play, eat and watch cartoons. lol.

When I was younger, I took things for granted because I never understood the meaning of life or gratitude but as I grew up i began to appreciate things around me, I began to appreciate life itself. Like I said earlier that they are many things to be grateful for in life and some of those things I am grateful for include:

Family

My family is something I don't joke with and I will always appreciate the fact that God gave me a wonderful family which I can never trade them with anything. There are things your family will sacrifice for you which an outsider or friends can not, for that and some many reasons I will always be grateful to my family.

Education/Teachers

I realized being literate is not a right but a gift and a privilege. I will also thank God for giving me the opportunity to go to school because many people out there don't have the kind of opportunities I have. Also, we often take our teachers for granted, if only we know the kind of privilege we have or the grace in us to have a good teacher. I am lucky to have teachers who care for my growth so much and pour out their hearts and soul into their lessons.

Sight/sense of hearing

I will always be appreciative to God himself for letting me hear the trickle of rain, the voices of my love ones, the harmonious chords of music and many more. To be able to see things with my eyes without the help of anyone, for moving from place to place without anyone's direction, I am most grateful to life for all this things.

Good health

Good health is one thing everybody ask for in life, to be able to walk and touch things and to be able to do things you want to do in life. Some are in the hospital with a deformed leg or hand, some can't even speak, but I have all this things which are enough for me to be grateful for.

There are still thousand of things to be grateful for in life and it is important to take time out and remember all of the things to be thankful for that many of us take for granted, as gratitude unlocks the fullness of life , it turns what we have into enough and more.

Beautiful,
They're a lot of things to be grateful for if only we can see the bigger picture.

For one to be grateful for somethings in life, he/she must have gone through so many things, because you can't just ask a 3 years old baby what he's most grateful for in life because at that stage the only thing he knows is to play, eat and watch cartoons. lol.

I love this line, because it's really true. If you haven't experienced what life is made up, if you haven't gone through challenges or happy moments or painful ordeals you'll not be able to understand what being grateful would be.

I'm glad you understand and have a good list of things to be grateful for. Family is a gift from God so we have to cherish that gift. Health and every other things are added factors.

No matter how down our situations can be at times, we have every reasons to be grateful for what Life has given us. That's why we can never stop being thankful to God our Maker for everything. Great post @otuyanancy. Do have a wonderful moment
