A friend of mine recommended a book called 1,000 Gifts a few years ago and the gratitude list that came from reading that book still lingers in my head and my heart....
Think about the little, tiny things that makes you feel grateful and brings a smile to your face:
Soap bubbles floating while you do the dishes,
A breeze that comes across your face,
The buzz of the summer locust,
Cardinals singing their tune each morning,
Flowers in bloom,
Butterflies,
Laughter,
Children giggling,
Warm, life-giving summer air,
Puppies licking your face and wagging their tails....
What are your gifts that cross your path?
Why not take a few minutes to ponder those and write them down!!!
Then, I listened to one of my favorite songs on Christian Radio is 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman the other day....Let these words sink into your soul:
Bless the Lord, O my soul.........O, my soul.
Worship His Holy Name....
Sing like never before......O my soul, worship Your Holy Name.
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing your song again
Whatever made possible
Whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening come.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul.
Worship His Holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul
Worship His Holy Name.
Your rich in love and your slow to anger
Your Name is great and Your Heart is kind
For all your goodness I will keep on singing,
10,000 Reasons for my heart to find.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul.
Worship His Holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul
Worship His Holy Name.
10,000 Reasons for my heart to find.
Let me be singing when the evening comes....
I hope you'll be singing when the evening come tonight!!!
