Changing Your Mind

Monday, September 23, 2013


Gratitude changes a mind.  What seems like a lack turns into an overflow when we thank God for what He has given.  He may strip us down to seemingly nothing, but if we focus on what He has provided we will see the redemption in His plan. He gives graciously all that we need and then some.  Can we see it? Are we looking for it?

I am finding when I don't actively list things, life seems more difficult!
