Sorry to hear about your hard season and glad to hear my words touched you, Lauren. I love how you call gratitude a discipline. Because it is, we discipline ourselves to live grateful. 🙂

Such true words about the cyber-world, Debbra. And such sweet words of encouragement. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and in a kind and grateful tone.

Praying we remember this all year long. “Thank God!” is not just a relief that something turned out good in the end. But thanking God, that in the end, we understand all good things come from Him.

It is something to ponder, Michele. Perhaps when we really evaluate and know the areas our gobble is ungrateful, it spurs us to give real thanks for all the provision from God’s generous hand and heart. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks, Bethany. It’s easy in our human perspective and ongoing cultural viewpoint to begrudge our have-nots. Even with the least of these around us almost daily. I pray to be generous, grateful and thankful while realizing the countless blessings from our gracious God.
