Grateful

Sometimes…my heart gets overwhelmed by the goodness of God..and I find myself weeping because I recognize His hand in all that I am…Sometimes it’s something as simple as watching the sun set…or listening to my youngest grandsons laughter…or perhaps it is a memory of someone who has gone on…but has left an indelible imprint on my life…it could be a time when God came in an impossible place and made a seamless correction…I feel my heart rate slow down…my mood immediately changes and joy overflows…there is something about acknowledging what is good…that overrides what is not…I practice gratefulness because it keeps my heart light and free of bitterness…I quickly run to the place of gratitude when there is news that is diffcult to receive…there is always something good to think about…I reach for those things..and I can focus again…and face whatever the challenges may be…GOD will meet me in my place of gratefulness and supply answers that would never have been revealed in the place of discontent…it’s not always easy to find the grateful place…it takes persistence to get there…oh…but when you do…you will realize that the trip was worth all that you had to do to get there…try it…the next time..life happens..set your GPS to the place of Gratefulness…once you get there..you will want to visit often…
