There's so much to be said about gratitude. I was taught from a young age to always give thanks and have instilled the same value into my own children.
The Bible references gratitude & thankfulness many times throughout. In places such as 1 Thessalonians 5:18; Colossians 3:15-17; & Psalms 100:4. Reading these verses are such gentle and great reminders of His constant presence in my life and yours too.
If you don't feel His presence in your life, maybe it's time to step back and reflect on how far you've come. Think about the times things went as you wanted as well as the times they didn't. His hand played a role in all of it. Whether it was by guiding you, protecting you, or simply carrying you when you couldn't move forward.
During the entire month of November, I'll be hosting 30 Days of Gratitude & ThankFULLness ! Join me as I share the many parts of my life and things I am extremely grateful for. God has been such a powerful force & presence in my life. I'd love to show you how and encourage you to reflect on what Gratitude looks like in your life this month! #BeEncouraged
