Astonishing material and revelation appear in our lives all the time. Let it be. Unto us, so much is given. We just have to be open for business.

God, I love You for making me suffer like this. It is Your will. You know the best for me. And I just praise You for loving me enough to allow me to experience this. In all things, including this, I give thanks.

We must admit that God owes us nothing. Before we charge God with not caring, we must thank Him for those times when His care is very evident. We are ever surrounded by undeserved blessings. Even in His silence, He blesses us.

Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for.

God had been good to them all today. But He was good every day just, sometimes she noticed.

Thank you," Betsie went on serenely, "for the fleas and for-" The fleas! This was too much. "Betsie, there's no way even God can make me grateful for a flea." "Give thanks in all circumstances," she quoted. "It doesn't say, 'in pleasant circumstances.' Fleas are part of this place where God has put us." And so we stood between piers of bunks and gave thanks for fleas. But this time I was sure Betsie was wrong.

When we determine in our hearts to be thankful—in all circumstances—we open the door to God's unexpected blessing and provision.

I'm convinced normal people miss the majority of God's blessings because they're too busy to notice them.

Suffocate the flames of envy with a blanket of gratitude.

Don't waste your time crying over what you're not given. When you have tears in your eyes, you can't see all the beautiful things around you.
