Grateful in All Circumstances
It’s pretty hard when you’re getting you butt kicked by life to stop and give thanks to The Lord for His blessings. I get it, but it’s something we need to try and work on. “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”1 Thessalonians 5:18 Notice in the scripture above it says, “all”. That doesn’t mean give thanks for all the good things, it means give thanks in ALL things. It’s easy to notice the good around you when things are going well. It can be harder to practice gratitude when things go poorly.And yet, that’s exactly when you need to connect with God. When life is tough, you need God more than ever.Listen, Jesus himself suffered. If you’re suffering, start there with Jesus. Then ask God what you can be grateful for. You may find many good things springing to mind. Even the thought that Jesus sees you and cares for you can be encouraging. Have a groovy Monday!Be Nice, Grace Wins

The Very Thing
When Paul said give thanks in all circumstances, he meant ALL. Including the crappy ones. Try thanking God today for the very thing that's keeping you from thanking Him.

Find Him in the Ordinary
We get excited about big blessings, but His blessings are everywhere if we'll just look. The little chats. The slight smile. Even the dogs that need us. All of it is praiseworthy.

Like a Father's Arm
Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.
