Gratitude

How often do I go thru my day rushing from one thing to another, not stoping to notice the ways the LORD blesses me and my family. Gratitude is giving thanks for how well we are loved. I desire for that attitude to be my personal soul fixture. At any moment I can CHOOSE to have an attitude of gratitude, a posture of grace, commitment to joy. And what an effect that attitude and outlook has on my home as I go about the calling the Lord has placed on my life. Sometimes it simply and beautifully overwhelms me at how much my Abba Father loves me. I do not desire for those moments and memories to pass me by and so I begin a list...a list of things I am grateful for, so that I never forget and so the generations that come after will always remember.

• My kind, merciful, loving Abba, daddy

• The cool morning and waters drops on green grass after a early fall rain

• The amazing, deep love and respect of a godly husband

• The fresh and earthy smell of the rosemary growing in the garden

• Watching my children's awe as they inspect the new growth each morning in the garden

• Blessed friends to walk with on the journey of life.
