The fact that I’m blogging at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. like I usually do indicates just what kind of day today was. It’s been a productive day, yet nothing happened how or when I thought it would. In reality, though, does it ever?
Daily gratitude must be re-wiring my brain such that my propensity now is to just assume things are happening in God’s time, and that alone brings about a peaceful feeling. It also seems to have tempered my need to control outcomes, and that’s a huge personality change for the better. Practicing continual gratitude has opened my eyes to the wonder of a supreme being I call God, and the benefits are such that I want as much as I can possibly have.
When I start the day focused on my blessings, I feel a rich contentment, and I can maintain that feeling all day long if I want to. I dare say, I am happy. Could continual gratitude possibly be the key?
Delight yourself also in Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. ~Psalm 37:4
