A Shot of Gratitude

Gratitude is a remarkable attitude. It can bring a new direction to the worst situation or stir up a heart to overflowing as it reflects on blessings.

Gratitude can and should be practiced daily.  In big ways, such a counting our blessings and in small ways as noticing the beauty of small things, such as crunching leaves, a sunrise or sunset, the little blessings all around us.


This photo was edited by adding the textures of Autumn Burst and Shades of November.  The memory of walking through the mountains is etched forever in the gratitude attitude!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play.

This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...
