Gratitude
The Lord has been impressing me more lately that no matter what my circumstances, there is always something that I can see that is good.
Always something to be thankful for. That’s how choosing gratitude can change us from the inside out.
Life has honestly kept me bogged down a lot. And I’ve accepted that as a way of life. But why?
Because it’s easier I guess. You have to fight it and sometimes you don’t feel like you have the strength.
But what about “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.”
AdIt’s either true or it’s not.
I’m choosing to believe it.
Today I’m grateful for
- Sunflower fields (our family visited yesterday)
- Old friends I ran into yesterday
- Cats who take walks with me.
Your turn.
What are you grateful for today?
Thanks for coming by!
Laurie

Thank you! I enjoy reading yours as well—I can never figure out a way to comment on your site though.
Today, I am grateful for time spent with family. We had an emotional morning yesterday as we placed my sister-in-laws ashes in her final resting place. I’m remembering the good times and taking forward the reminder that we can never know how much time we have left, make the most of it while you can.
I’m sure that was hard.
I’m glad you do have good memories to hold onto.
Thanks for visiting.

I’m thankful for you coming by!
Hi Laurie. Love the sunflower’s smiley face! Thanks so much for hosting. I linked up with #12 HAVE THEY LOST THEIR MINDS? Also, I’d like to invite you to linkup at some of my link parties.
Thank you Dee! I mean to get over to do that! Trying to make small changes!
I appreciate your conclusion: gratitude really IS a choice!
Not an easy one but we can retrain our brains!
What a great question! I’m grateful for a lot of things today. Being with my family, good health, a comfortable home, and having a job that I love are just a few of the things on my list. I’m also grateful for the little things, like a delicious cup of coffee in the morning or being able to take a walk on a beautiful day.
It’s always important to remember the things we’re grateful for, even when things are tough. Gratitude can help us see the positive in our lives and appreciate the good, even when bad things are happening.
By the way, have you seen my site, https://AllAboutGratitude.com

I keep in mind what you’ve shared!
Beautiful reflection on gratitude, Laurie! I have been focusing daily on gratitude and it really does change the game of life when you do. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful week!

You too!
Thanks for featuring my post! Gratitude is so important!
I appreciate what you share.
I’m not sure if my first attempt to comment was saved. I got an unusual pop-up. But I’m thankful for your blog and for the reminder that gratitude really is a choice like so much else in life when it comes to our attitudes.
Thank you! I’m doing my best to remember too.
