Thankfulness is a quality that I often lack. In keeping with the years theme of Make a Difference, I’ve decided it is time for an attitude adjustment. Inspired by Thanksgiving this month I have decided to write at least one post each week focusing on thankfulness.

In 2008 I lost a job that I really enjoyed and excelled at due to the economic downturn. The past year and a half have been a struggle. For about a year I was only able to find a part time job. When I did find a full-time job it was far below what I had been making. In October I finally, received a promotion to position that both good pay and benefits. So, far I am enjoying the job. The potential for future advancement is also there. While this is not the career path I have envisioned I am very thankful for both a good job and one that I enjoy.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (NIV)
