Having sincere appreciation for what you have.
May today be a day that you embrace with both appreciation and love! Pour that stuff out everywhere Champions!
Taking a deep breath this morning and exhaling slowly as I examine my heart. One word bubbles up to the top for me this morning...Gratitude!
Gratitude is a bit different than thankful. Gratitude deals more with where you are, what you have, and to be grateful for those things.
Thankful on the other hand, is typically heart felt after we have been given something.
My heart is so full this morning and I felt compelled to share during our time together. Stay with me...I don't have any earth shattering news that has made me grateful today. My gratitude this morning comes from just how good God has been to me. I am grateful to just bask in God's presence this morning. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my health. I am grateful for my home. I am grateful for an endless list of things I could go on and on about because God is good!
Here's the thing...we can let all the crummy things that we have going on to consume our thoughts and let gratitude go slam out the window, or we can receive what is before us with a heart of gratitude. I understand that some things might be hard to be grateful for, but push through!!! Choose gratitude. Look for how even in the most difficult situations or circumstances you can find something to be grateful for!
Now go pour that stuff out everywhere and over everything! Make this Friday have the Bam factor!
Rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:7
