The warmth that gratitude brings…

Gratitude doesn’t wait for everything to be perfect—it grows right in the middle of the mess.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. The bills stack up, the news feels heavy, the to-do list never ends. But even there, God invites us to give thanks.

“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Not for all things, but in all things. Gratitude isn’t pretending everything’s good—it’s remembering God still is.

When we choose thankfulness, something shifts. Fear loosens its grip. Comparison quiets down. Peace moves in.
Because you can’t be bitter and grateful at the same time.

Corrie ten Boom learned that in a Nazi concentration camp. She and her sister Betsie decided to thank God for everything—even the fleas in their barracks. Later they discovered those fleas kept the guards away, giving them freedom to pray and share Scripture. Gratitude turned suffering into sanctuary.

Ask Yourself:

  • What has God already done that I’ve stopped noticing?

  • Who do I need to thank—out loud—this week?

Call to Action:

  • Write down three things you’re thankful for every day. Then tell one person why you’re thankful for them. Gratitude that’s spoken multiplies. It blesses you and the people who hear it. Say it with me: I will bless with my gratitude. Because thankful hearts change homes, workplaces, and communities.
