Quote Reflection
The older I get, the more I recognize the good in life.
Maybe it’s because I’ve learned that dwelling on the bad is a fruitless misuse of the precious time God has given me.
I’ve come to see my mind as a garden. Negative thoughts are like weeds. If I allow them to take root, they’ll eventually choke out the good. Gratitude is how I pull those weeds and make room for something better to grow.
I’ve also noticed that I’m increasingly drawn to people, places, and experiences that breathe life into my spirit rather than drain it.
Living in a state of gratitude takes work… at least it does for me… but it is well worth it.
Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is good. It’s about recognizing that even when life is hard, there is still good to be found.
And like any muscle, the more we exercise gratitude, the stronger it becomes.

When was the last time I intentionally ‘worked’ my gratitude muscle while the world was pulling me elsewhere?
Psalm 107:1, “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!”
