Gratitude Through Appreciating The Gift of Gratefulness

Posted on March 6, 2022March 6, 2022 by admin

Recently, I have been focusing on the word gratitude. Gratitude is usually thought of at Thanksgiving, as we gather and ponder our blessings. As I get older, gratitude seems to be a daily occurrence of reflection for myself. When I drive to work in the morning, I cross the Missouri River. As I look at the sunrise over the bridge, there is gratitude. Gratitude for the beauty of the colors of the rays. Appreciation for a job that I love. Gratitude for a new day.

“You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” (Martin Luther King Jr.) These words I have taken to heart, as I started to work on a home improvement project that would take time and effort.

Recently, I have been reading Make Something Good Today by Erin & Ben Napier. One night, I was watching their show Home Town and enjoyed their renovations of the homes in their small town. Creating and making something new or repurposed is one of my favorite pursuits.The words “make something good today” speaks to finding something positive in our day-to day. There are days when it’s hard to see the good. In these times of uncertainty, it is difficult to focus on the good.
