What Are You Grateful For?

It’s easy to complain.

Maybe too easy sometimes.

Someone cut you off while you were driving.

You had to wait in line longer than you wanted.

The outcome was not what you expected.

In reality, there is always something to be thankful for.

My kids will tell you I am like a “Positive Polly” – always looking for the good in every situation.

Truthfully, there are days I don’t always feel that way.

But in His word, we are told to be thankful and sing His praises.

God has been so good to me, I only need to open my eyes and take in a deep breath in the morning, and I already have 2 things to be grateful for each day.

And there is so much more.

So what can you tell Him thank you for today?

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening,”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Pass It On

My son, Dan is working at Summer Camp now that his semester has ended at college.

The thought of camp makes me think back to my own experiences during childhood with camps and Vacation Bible School.

Snack time and crafts.

Meeting new friends.

But it is the music that stands out in my mind the most.

A song written by Kurt Kaiser will forever be embedded in my heart.

Pass It On.

As an adult, I realize now that it was also laying the foundation for what we are all called to do: share His love.

Once you have experienced it, you do not want to keep it to yourself.

Here are some of the lyrics:

“It only takes a spark
To get a fire going
And soon all those around
Can warm up in its glowing
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You spread His love to ev’ryone
You want to pass it on.”

Have you experienced His love?

Who can you pass it onto today?

It only takes a spark.

Share His love.

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20 NLT
