Thankfulness

This whole month (which by the way has flown by!) I have been focused on thankfulness and reflecting on the blessings God has so graciously given me. But somehow in the midst of all this thankfulness, God has revealed in my life areas I am not thankful. He has made me so aware of what a complainer I am. And it's just not ok. So as this month of thanks comes to a close, I am reminded to "let thankfulness rule in my heart" in the months ahead. To find joy and be thankful even when it's really really hard to see the good in things.

"A life of praise and thankfulness becomes a life filled with miracles. Instead of trying to be in control, you focus on Me and what I am doing. This is the power of praise: centering your entire being in Me. This is how I created you to live, for I made you in My own image. Enjoy abundant life by overflowing with praise and thankfulness." - Jesus Calling, November 26
