It's November. A month for thanksgiving. What better time than now to reflect on gratitude.
Okay, I'll admit it. I have wasted a lot of my days worrying or regretting. A lot of my time has been spent wondering -- what if? I have spent too much time looking back or looking forward.
But for a while now, I have made an effort to be present in the moment and to be thankful for that moment. And something has been changing in my
heart ever since.
So today I choose to be grateful for life. I choose to be grateful for the way life can
be unpredictable and ever-changing. The fact that only my Lord knows what will happen next helps me to dig in and just savor the moment I am in.
This choosing to be grateful right this instance is like putting on glasses. Finally -- I can see what is right in front of me. Who knew that just stopping and savoring all that is around me could change so much inside of me?
If there is one thing I have learned -- this gratefulness stuff is powerful!
