“As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. I (God) go before you and plant little pleasures to brighten your day. Look carefully for them, and pluck them one by one. When you reach the end of the day, you will have gathered a lovely bouquet. Offer it up to Me with a grateful heart.”
Sarah Young, Jesus Calling
May I always remember the practice of gratefully plucking treasures throughout my day!

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ― Melody Beattie
You are so good at expressing appreciation for the smallest of blessings…I love that about you! Happy Day of Giving Thanks! Love, Cheryl

Yes, it’s the simple pleasures in life that bring happiness. In everything, God tells us to be thankful. “He has the whole world in his hands.” Love you!

Kristin your work is so beautiful. The quote is a good reminder, one I’ve been trying to practice. Thank you for sharing both. I also love the above quote from Melody Beattie – and will be sharing that very soon.

Thank you, Kim. Yes, the practice of daily gratitude is one that I’ve come to appreciate in so many ways over the past years. I love the Melody Beattie quote, too! I posted it to my facebook page this morning:)
