Do you ever get in a funk where all you see is the negative? Where life seems so unfair and downright hard. No matter where you look, all you see is what is wrong. Have you ever considered stopping in the middle of this mindset and seeing what happens when you practice gratitude?
It might be hard at first to turn your mind towards thankfulness. However, when you look at why it is so essential, it will provide a little boost to give it a try. On Tuesday, we looked at ten reasons why we should embrace gratitude. Click here if you missed it.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.”Do you practice gratitude daily? What does that look like in your life? #gratitude #attitudeofgratitude #practicegratitude Share on X

I am finding this to be more true this year than ever!
I am so glad. It is amazing how much practicing gratitude can impact our happiness.
I’m such a big believer in gratitude! I think being thankful is key to having a good mind set.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 teaches us it’s God will for us to be thankful!
I agree being thankful is key to having a good mindset.
Thank you for the honor in featuring my post Maree! ♥

Bless you,
Jennifer
It was an honor to feature you. Thank you for the inspiration.
Practicing gratitude in all its nuances brings us back to our first Love.
Yes, it does.
I’ve found that to be true: no matter the circumstances, there is always something to be grateful for.
I am right there with you, Barbara.
