There is always something to be grateful for:

Take time out of your day to reflect. Even if it’s just one thing. What do you have to be grateful for? It could be something as simple as having a favorite shirt to something way more complex as your relationship with God.

The point is to be appreciative. For there is someone out in this large world who would trade places with you in a heartbeat .

We all have bad moments. Feelings of despare and loneliness.

It’s in those moments that we really have to look deeper. Look around us. What’s the first thing you see?

For me, it’s a bottle of water that is sitting on my table. Insignificant, you think?

How wrong you would be. This bottle of water was bought two days ago on an outing with my adult child. We rode together, shopped together, and talked all the way there and back. Shared some laughs and really enjoyed our time together.

That bottle has a story behind it that created joy in my life. For that time, and this bottle.. I am grateful.

So I ask you … what are you grateful for?
