There is so much going on in our lives today that it is so easy to get off track and forget the really important and beautiful things in our lives. I know I fall victim to this from time to time. When what we need or desire seems to be delayed, we can go down that slippery slope of fear and uncertainty. One thing that brings me back is to focus on what I do have and return to being grateful for these blessings. There is something that happens when we move from what is missing to what is right in front of us. Life will always have its rainy days, but we don't have to get washed away in the storm and lose our footing. Our certainty and assurance is grounded in God's promise to never leave us. There is always a way out of the darkness and struggles we are experiencing. So, I thought I would share commandment number ten toady for you and for myself. Blessings.
10. Be grateful- Foster an attitude of gratitude.
- Consider keeping a gratitude journal where you keep track of all the things you are grateful for each evening.
- Make sure you capture your accomplishments, - don’t just keep a “to do” list. Keep a list of your accomplishments as well.
- We have so many wonderful things in our lives, but it is so much easier to see what is missing.
- Whatever we focus on increases – focus on being grateful and we will get more things to be grateful for.
