Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
what if, My child?
what if every morning as you wake,
every evening before you sleep,
and every moment in between,
you. gave. thanks.
you looked around at the simple as well as
the profound.
rollie pollies.
dandelion fluff.
children laughing.
aging parents smiling.
wind bending palm trees low.
flowers painted colors vibrant.
butterflies exquisite.
bubbles floating.
raindrops on little umbrellas.
but only if you look.
My child,
My gifts are
everywhere.
and if you breathe thanks
and live thanks
in all circumstances
I promise you, My beloved,
the result will be joy.
joy unspeakable!
even in the times of loss
and heartbreak
and broken dreams.
even then joy will be the
underlying current,
running from Me to you.
living thanks is a form of prayer and
constant communication with Me
as you journey through life will change you.
it will soften you.
it will slow you down.
it will give you new eyes to see.
it will put things in perspective.
it will draw you closer to
My heart.
