*Abba
“..you’re so not alone today, on #WorldGratitudeDay: the battle’s hard… but here’s the secret to winning: “Stay alert, with your eyes. wide. open. in. gratitude.” Colossians 4:2 MSG
No matter what’s coming hard these days, the thing is:
No amount of regret changes the past,
No amount of anxiety changes the future,
And any amount of gratitude changes the present.
Any amount of gratitude changes the present & wins back some ground — even for one very small thing.
So that’s what we’re doing here today: simply being grateful for that one small thing… & one more small thing… & one more small thing — just taking back ground one grateful step at a time till the battle is WON.
Gratitude wins our wars.
Because gratitude isn’t only a celebration when good things happen; Gratitude’s a declaration that (Abba) God is good no matter what happens.
