Ageing with Gratitude! (A-to-Z Challenge)
I was beyond glad and grateful when I realized Gratitude was the Key to living the Abundant Life.
It’s shameful to recall how awful, unpleasant, ungrateful I used to be. Nothing was good enough for me, nothing was enough period. But I chose to “live and learn”, and I now have better sense to make better choices. Color me Thankful!
In recent years I caught a most beneficial revelation: the connection between Gratitude and Generosity–wow! The more blessings God pours into my life, the greater my desire to eagerly share the overflow–it’s FUN🤗.
What a wonderful feeling, to experience “wealth” in a way some wouldn’t understand…it’s like “Less is MORE” wrapped with bright ribbons. All praise and glory goes to the Lord. His resources are phenomenal, immeasurable, limitless–He takes care of my needs and, amazingly, most of my ‘wants’.
Some things I’m grateful for today:
Perfectly-small, lovely home in the Upper Room🏰
Best friend, Deb–faraway in miles, but not in heart💖
A freezer that seems to have an endless supply of food🍗🍞
Reasonably good health (meeting new doctor soon)👨⚕️
Free books & movies accessible online from my local library📚
New blog, and blogging friends😊
Gift of writing, so satisfying…and oodles of writing challenges✍
Online church, with on-demand messages (in case I miss a service)⛪
Bible collection!
Spring’s longer days🌞
Gift of LAUGHTER😂
Prayers of others on my behalf, and privilege of praying for them as well🙏
Goodness, Grace, Mercies & JOY of the Lord💖
