The weather may be somethin' miserable this week (about 20 degrees too hot!), but that only means I need to be reminded even more often to be continually grateful.
I am not a naturally thankful person. I complain a lot. But this is a habit I really want to break! Being thankful is both freeing and a blessing. It not only blesses all those around you, but is very uplifting for self. There is a definite joy and contentment that comes from being grateful--like a side effect! And a great side effect! So then why don't we try it out more often? Seriously, I just don't know. But God says we should continually give thanks...and not just that. We are to give thanks for all things. How much I want to break the darkness of ungratefulness in my life!! "Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:20

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, and today's a gift."
