The power of gratitude

Gratitude is my superpower. 

I’m sure I’ve heard that before my friend repeated it Tuesday. And it’s not original with her. But it resonated in a superpowerful way this Thanksgiving week. 

God is the source of all good — and with an attitude of faith and gratitude, I see that God continues to work ALL  THINGS for good.

Gratitude to God for His goodness frees me from thinking and acting like it’s my responsibility to make things turn out right.

Gratitude takes willingness. No one can force another to be grateful. It is a personal choice.

Gratitude changes situations and outcomes. Gratitude changes perspectives and attitudes.

God’s gifts are all around. Look and see.

Let go. Let God. And give Him the glory. 

What a joy it is to have so many things I'm grateful for that I don't even know where to begin in trying to express! And I'm sure I'll leave out some that are just as important as the ones I include.

Among the things for which I’m thankful today are these basics, which may seem trite but is ever so true.

— Despair transformed into hope, and self-doubt into confidence through him.
— Faith.
— Family.
— Friends.
— Second chances.

I am grateful to know that God is at the top of my list!

In gratitude, I accept God’s goodness, today and always.
