There have been a number of studies that show that routinely being grateful improves our lives. It doesn’t make the bad go away, but it does move all the good in our lives to the forefront. This has a positive impact on our hearts, minds, and general health, as well as impacting relationships in a good way.

I encourage y’all to look for simple ways to chronicle the good in your life. You could share something you are grateful for each night at the dinner table. You could buy a small notebook and make it your gratitude journal (or share one with your sweetie to double the blessing). Try adding your gratitude items to an existing journal or make a game of sharing what you are grateful for with your family on game night.

(I am grateful for God’s goodness, my sweetie, kids, grandkids, bunnies, ladybugs, and coffee. There’s plenty more, but I am committed to writing short blog posts.)

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. Robert Brault
