🫶 THE POWER OF GRATITUDE🫶

“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” – Willie Nelson

Sometimes, negative things can dominate our lives, overshadowing the joy and beauty around us.  Stress, worry and daily challenges often consume our thoughts, making it easy to overlook the positive aspects.  This negativity can strain our relationships, causing us to take our loved ones for granted.  However, focusing on the good in our everyday lives and appreciating our family can shift our perspective.  By recognising and valuing small moments of joy, like a shared laugh or a comforting hug, we can counterbalance the negativity. 

These moments remind us of the love and support we have, helping us feel more grounded and less overwhelmed by life’s difficulties.   Making a conscious effort to express gratitude and cherish our family strengthens our connections and fosters a more positive outlook.  Even amidst challenges, taking time to appreciate the simple, everyday blessings can bring light and happiness into our lives, creating a healthier, more fulfilling environment.  So, each morning, let us express gratitude for the gift of a new day, appreciating the opportunity to experience life and the love of those around us.

“Dear Lord, Thank You for the countless blessings You bestow upon us each day.  Help us to see and appreciate the simple joys and the love of our family.  Grant us the grace to cherish these moments and to express our gratitude to You and to one another.  In times of difficulty, remind us of the good that surrounds us and fill our hearts with thankfulness.   Amen.”
