I am grateful for clean clothes that smell good.
That makes me grateful for dryer sheets and good smelling laundry detergent.
I am grateful for green lawns with tree shade that creates ever-changing patterns for me to look at from my 2nd story window all day long.
That makes me grateful for sunshine that creates shade.
In God’s garden of grace, even a broken tree can bear fruit. – Rick Warren
I am grateful for sleeping cats so that I can get some work done instead of the constant get-them-out-of-my- face with their purring need for attention.
I am grateful for productivity.
That makes me grateful for a pen to cross off all the things which brings on the feeling of satisfaction.
I am grateful for inner pain twinges that happen because of change. They remind me to grasp and cling, trust, and obey.
“Growing in grace is all about transformation—becoming more like Me. I never change: I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. So you are the one who needs to change—to be molded increasingly into My likeness. This is a glorious adventure and an awesome privilege! Yet it is also painful at times. Change always involves some loss, and it can trigger anxiety. The remedy is to cling to My hand—walking with Me in trusting dependence along the path I’ve prepared for you. My Word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your path.” —Jesus Today by Sarah Young
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8 NKJV
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” —Psalm 119:105
I am grateful for night lights.
I am grateful for focus, especially when I have none.
I am grateful for quiet sounding cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dishwashers.
I am grateful for corn on the cob, tonight’s dinner.
And I am grateful for a husband who loves ice cream and is far too kind and compassionate. Those two things do not have anything to do with each other, other than the fact that both can add a certain “weight” and both make him that much more lovable.
May the words coming from my fingers
and the thought and focus of my heart
be acceptable in Your sight, Lord,
my Rock and my Redeemer.
