Finding The Silver Lining....

I know a grateful heart is essential to living my best life! Trust and thankfulness are my best allies in this pursuit. I am encouraged in Thessalonians to "give thanks in all circumstances". That is easier to say than to do.... but when things are the toughest God wants us to look to Him and give thanks for what we have in that moment; to find the silver lining so to speak. 

If we wallow in our past, or worry about tomorrow we cannot see the silver lining of today. Our awareness grows dim because we are consumed with what did happen or what could happen instead of appreciating what is happening now, in this moment. 

Today when you woke did you begin your day with appreciating the moment you are in or did you allow your mind to immediately go to what happened in the past? Possibly you began worrying about tomorrow or the days to follow. Can I encourage you to take time right now to be thankful for today? Even it's only a 3 out of 10 day.... what 3 things are you thankful for? Can you reflect on them? Find the silver lining each day and be grateful and you will find your silver lining increase..... I promise!
