Devastation Reminds Us to Be Grateful


This morning I was looking through one of the slide shows of pictures from all of the deadly Midwest tornadoes that have happened this week. The devastation in these pictures are amazing. As my heart is sad for everyone affected, it is also a reminder to be grateful for all I have.

There are times of struggle in my day-to-day life that begin to bog me down. That's why it is so important to take time each day to think about the things I am grateful. Sometimes I get so caught up in my own problems that I need to step back and look at the bigger picture. Even when I am facing a big giant, I can find many things to be thankful for...family, friends, health, shelter, etc.

A great way to start is to begin a gratitude journal where each day you write down things you are grateful for. If you are married or have children, each night before going to bed share with each other a few reasons you are grateful for each other. It's an amazing way to end your day and enter into blissful dreams!
