Be Thankful Every Day!

Be Thankful Every Day!

My wife Barbara and I have what we like to call our “Gratitude” jar. It sits on our kitchen counter and next to it is a little bowl filled with blank pieces of paper.

Each morning my wife and I write something or sometimes a few things that we are truly grateful for. The blessings, lessons we have learned, and all the people who have made our lives better.

So this morning when waking up to hear about the horrible tragedy the unfolded in Las Vegas, I felt as if I could fill up our entire gratitude jar with so many little and simple things.

For me, when events like this happen I pause, reflect, pray, and think about how fragile and special this thing called life really is.

All too often we get caught up in the hectic go - go busy- busy  lifestyle of getting things done, taking the kids to sports, answering emails, etc, that we tend to miss the simple things in life. Being grateful for what we have and those who love us.  The abundance that we are already living in!

So in light of current events in our Nation, be it with this most recent mass shooting or the politics of the country, I would encourage you to take a moment each and every day. Pause. Be intentional about your gratitude and blessings in your life.

Grace and Peace.
