There is a quiet place I go online… almost daily… to be

encouraged

uplifted

consoled

inspired

made grateful

reminded

quieted

made still

motivated

calmed

moved

There is a community there which has decided to be… grateful.

This post, from that place, in this community, gives such a vivid narrative of MY hardest days, and such a beautiful solution of how I can be lifted back up out of the mire of the defeating trials of… life.

And so I have decided…

have realized…

know…

I too am in desperate need of… also… becoming more purposefully…

Grateful.

Today my list begins.

Today I praise with purpose.

Today I am grateful to God for…

1. choosing me while a sinner and loving me deep

2. Christ who gave His life for mine

3. the Spirit who draws me close and communes with me continually

4. provisions that keep not only breath in me, but an abundance of comfort all around

5. a new bible, fresh pages of truth with wide margins for notes so as not to forget tid-bits of understanding I gain along this journey

6. quiet evenings

7. a season of return, renewal, and refreshing

8. hope
