Gratitude

Gratitude turns what we have into enough

I was really upset the other night. My husband has been out of town, I felt like I was running all over creation taking people here and there. I was tired of being nice. I began to look around as see everyone else who had it easier than me.

After years of therpy I have learned that if I think that I am having "distorted thoughts."

I immediatly started counting my blessings. My sweet husband who loves me even when he is out of town. Kids who are trying to make things easier for me. Friends who are struggling so much more than me but still have time to love and care for me. Heavenly Parents who are aware of me and who I can turn to whenever I am in need of comfort and help.

After these thoughts of gratitude I began to feel like my life wasn't so bad. Difficult at times but I am greatly blessed. I am so grateful for the gift of gratitude and how it really helps me what I have and how I really do have enough.
