WEEK 34: Appreciating the Good Things
Last night was the K-3rd grade Spring Concert. It was wonderful seeing the students singing, dancing, and playing with joy and excitement! They did such a marvelous job! Yesterday was a chance for those students and families to celebrate the gift of music that God gave us.
So often we have a tendency to overlook the blessings of God to focus on the negatives. We overlook the beauty of the roses to focus on a thorn. We see the frustration of traffic without a thought for the wonders of modern technology that move us safely and quickly. So many of the daily, ordinary blessings and gifts that our Heavenly Father has provided for us go unnoticed. Appreciation is an attitude of positivity that one intentionally carries. Gratitude is like a jacket that we have to put on while negativity is a blanket we sulk under. It takes constant purposeful noticing to break the cycle of taking things for granted. Starting today, on this beautiful day, intentionally identify the multitude of blessings right in front of you. A life of gratitude is a joyful one.
God's Blessings,
