It’s cold. It’s dark in the mornings. There’s little sunlight time. Not my favorite, but this season, like all others is a gift from God… because He Who promises to never leave us or forsake us, also promises that He does not change and He’s focused on completing His church. So I sat down and decided to seek out a better attitude.
“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights, with Whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” James 1:17
Like other times when I’ve needed gratitude, I created a thankful list. Here it is:
For frost on the yard and birds flying by. For children’s voices and hot drinks (coffee). For a warm place to rest and a Bible to tuck-in to. For a friendly hug and familiar kiss. For a heart that can listen and a will to seek God.
Once I got started… the list grew easily throughout the day. Its what you water that grows, what you feed that thrives.
Whenever Ive asked God for joy, and contentment… peace and happiness have soon followed. Reminders like: I am chosen – I am called – I am justified – I have a Father in Heaven Who loves me and a Savior Who died to make it all possible – flooded me!
Each wonderful fact brought more hope. They made me feel so special and blessed. And best of all I was reminded – I’m just one in a growing multitude that will gather some day before The LORD of Lights. ❤️
Wow- Winter feels a little warmer now.
