Gratitude is a beautiful posture that I need to be dwelling in before my day gets started and throughout my day. I want to give thanks in ALL circumstances!
I am grateful for figuring out how to find the day I am on! Wahoo!!!!
Today's lesson on gratitude was a check for me. I have been taking my marriage for granted while being ungrateful to my husband and expecting things he cannot give me. Mostly Venus/Mars kinds of things. Yesterday after doing this study I asked if we could again just begin praying together for our marriage rather than talk. It was an incredible, tearful, wonderful time. For that I give thanks!
Wow! I think she was talking directly to me today! I am currently trying to get our new home to look nice and decorated, I have 10 pounds to lose and my kids make me a bit cranky with all the busy-ness and boringness of summer break. Just wow… it really helped put me into my place with all I am blessed with and that my "reasons" for not being content are not reasons at all– they are actually reasons to be grateful!!
Being content is something I STRUGGLE with! Why can't I just be happy with where I'm at in life? Why can't I be satisfied with my body the way it is today? Why can't I be happy with the amount of money I have? Or the car I drive?
I agree with the devotional today that states the key is to be GRATEFUL for what we DO have. I need to count my blessings. Every single day. I have so much in my life that is good and from God and I need to simply think about these things instead of what I want.
Today is yet another god wink. I have been struggling for years with health issues and I have always wondered why me…, but today. Today, I get to express Gratitude for the blessings in life that assist me in dealin with this. Finally after 12 years of hearing why, God is hearing Thank You for giving me the tools necessary to thrive under these conditions. He is patient and He is Kind.
quite enjoyable…fuckin' nice

What a great reminder to be grateful. My favorite part. “don’t worry about anything, pray about everything”
