Choosing to Make Life Work -- 11L - GRATITUDE FOR MIRACLES


Life situations are not always easy.  Sometimes we find ourselves envying what others have and think others are better off than we are.   In our world we look around and see many sad situations.   We have friends and loved ones who are hurting.    Choosing to make life work is being intentional about praying specifically for these situations and the people involved.   It is practicing a spirit of trust and gratitude.  Trusting that God is present with us in all situations.  Gratitude for what we do have and gratitude for the miracles of life.    If we threw all of our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we would grab ours back.   However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 
At the end of each day, identify the situations that occurred that day for which you sensed or now realize God was present with you.  Also, identify where and when you realized a miracle had taken place.  Recognizing the small miracles in our lives each day helps us to develop a spirit of gratitude which empowers us to take the next step of faith whatever that step may be.
