Gratitude

In this life we often focus on the negative things that touch us. It’s amazing how often one “awh shucks” can eliminate so many “great job” moments. I am grateful this morning for surgery that went well for my sister yesterday. She was such a blessing to me with my own cancer diagnosis. She stayed with me and went to chemo treatments with me. She encouraged me each time I called her for support. I am so grateful to God for all she did in my life and the closeness we established as sisters.

Many of you may be fighting battles as well. They do not have to be just physical battles. Mental battles can also be debilitating in so many ways. Being “heartsick” can be just as devastating as physically sick. Trust God with what you are walking. Rely on Him. Choose to be grateful for each person in your life who builds you up and supports you. Focus on the great job moments or blessings and less on the awh shucks. Everything in this life is about choice and each of us has one to make. Choose God.
