Day 2: Choosing Gratitude
Read it: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Colossians 3:15-17
Live it:
Paul’s encouragement to give thanks in all things reminds us that even hardships can be opportunities for growth. If I were to ask what you are thankful for, could you make a comprehensive list? Ann Voskamp is a Christian author who wrote down 1,000 things she was grateful for. I wonder how different #1 was from #1,000! This process changed her perspective, and she was able to help others cultivate gratitude in their lives.
Gratitude is a choice, even in difficult seasons. Reflect on what God has done, even in hard times, and cultivate a heart of thanksgiving. When we lead with gratitude, we cultivate joy in ourselves and in those around us, creating an atmosphere of faith and resilience.
Ps. James
