Thankful Thursday

Istijlál (Majesty), 1 Jamál (Beauty), 147 BE - Thursday, April 27, 2017 CE

"Say: God sufficeth all things above all things, and nothing in the heavens or in the earth but God sufficeth. Verily, He is in Himself the Knower, the Sustainer, The Omnipotent."

The Báb1

It's Thankful Thursday and I haven't made a gratitude entry in any journal for a while. I think that's one of the reasons I've been stressed. When I make gratitude entries it the "changes and chances of outrageous fortune"2 don't cause me as much stress as when I make regular (weekly) Gratitude Entries in one of my journals. Therefore, I have to get back into the habit of making gratitude entries. I need to make an entry in my Poet999 Blog  , so I think I'll make the gratitude entry in this journal and then copy it to the Poet999 Blog.
