BE THANKFUL FOR LITTLE THINGS

sparrow - CLIL110-cropWEBLet all that I am praise The Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. [Psalm 103:1-2 (NLT)]

Let praise and thanksgiving change your perspective. In a dark time of my life, I started a gratitude journal, each day writing about something for which I could give thanks. Believe me, sometimes it was not easy and my thoughts were rarely deep thoughts. It may have been the song of the bird that wakened me, my fuzzy fleece blanket, or simply that I was in less physical pain than the previous day that got mention in the journal. Each day, however, I managed to find something for which to give thanks; my spirits brightened and my eyes opened to the many joys in my life.

YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE

I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous and my soul is fully aware of this. [Psalm 139:14 (GW)]

Today, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself what it is you like about yourself. Too often we look into the mirror only to see what we dislike about ourselves. But we are God’s precious gift…and he doesn’t make junk. We are, indeed, amazingly and miraculously made!
