GRATITUDE

Close-up Of Gratitude Word With Pen On Notebook Over Wooden Desk

Hello Warriors, Watch Dog here.

I think sometimes it is hard to be grateful. It should be easy to be grateful, but it isn’t always that easy. There is so much negativity in the world today, that sometimes the negative blocks out what we should be grateful for. If you think you have nothing to be grateful for, you are wrong. You live in America, you have a roof over your head, you have food to put in your stomach. If you have breath in your lungs, you have a reason to be grateful.

There are times I feel like I am a failure in life! I feel like I am a failure as a son, as a husband, as a daddy, as a firefighter and just as a human being! That is the devil working on me. These are the times that I have to remember the love God has for me. That is something to be grateful for, for sure. One thing I am very grateful for is my wife! Relentless has stood my side when even I said she should leave me. I am so grateful for her love for me. There is no doubt that she is a gift from God to me. I am trying to learn how to show this appreciation.

It is important to remember, that no matter how dark things get, how bad things seem, that just a little faith even the size of a mustard seed, can move mountains. You are never alone, God is always on your side, you just have to trust in Him! It isn’t always easy. At times it is down right hard and seemingly impossible, but it isn’t! God starts when impossible starts. You can’t be angry or upset or sad the same time you are being grateful. Always find something to be grateful for. If you ever wonder if your purpose on earth is done, if you are still breathing, it isn’t! God can still use you, no matter what you have done. I joke a lot when I say, “Everyone is good at something, I am a great bad example.” I have not always lived a righteous life. I still struggle with this, but I am trying to be better today than I was yesterday. I am grateful that God will forgive and has forgiven me for all my faults. I am grateful that Jesus died on the cross for me even though I don’t deserve it.

NO FIGHTS ALONE!

Always be grateful and thankful!

Watch Dog.

Welcome to Relentless Warriors Legacy. RWL for short, is a PTSD ministry ran by us, Lawrence and Melissa McGuire. Relentless Warriors Legacy is here to show couples and individuals there is hope despite PTSD. PTSD is a hard thing to navigate in a marriage and in relationships, so we share our experiences with PTSD and that with God at the center, we are thriving instead of surviving. We offer support to couples and individuals to find their way out of the darkness and give tomorrow a chance. We have been married for over 20 years and have 3 amazing boys. Lawrence has been in the fire service for over 20 yrs and was in the military for just over 15 yrs. We have PTSD, Grief and Depression in our marriage. It has taken us a lot of time to navigate all of it. Our marriage still has its ups and downs, but it is still the best it has ever been. While our main focus is on marriages, Lawrence and I both meet with individuals once a month to talk about different subjects dealing with PTSD. We also have this blog, Instagram page and Facebook page. Helping others navigate this hard territory is our God given passion. We love to talk about the things that have worked for us and what has not. It is not a one size fits all solution. Please join us each week to talk about another topic. Thank you for diving into our blog!! Lawrence and Melissa McGuire (Watch Dog and Relentless)
