A grateful heart can help you handle anything that comes your way. Click To Tweet
Have you ever seen the paperweight that is inscribed, “There’s always, always, always something to be thankful for?”
When you’re facing what’s unpleasant or painful, you may be feeling anything but thankful.
It was during some of the bleakest years my mamma and I ever faced, when thankfulness quite literally helped us both see what we had rather than what we didn’t. And keeping our hearts filled with what we were grateful for is how my mamma gained the vision, strength and perseverance to work her way out of the impoverished conditions we faced after she divorced my daddy in 1967. Her example became a powerful role model for me that continues to inspire and encourage me no matter what trouble I face.
Thinking about what I am grateful for can bring a smile when I most need one.
I hope a grateful heart can help you endure and overcome whatever comes your way, too!
