Read Each day I am grateful for simple things
I am strengthened with all His glorious power, so I have all the endurance and patience I need. I am filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled me to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light. He has transferred me from the dominion of darkness to His wonderful kingdom of light. Today is truly an amazing gift from Him.
I am filled with wonder with all I see around me and I feel gratefulness rise in me at the sound of a child’s voice, the fragrance of flowers in the air and the sight of dew-laden grass in the morning. I think of the smile on my friend’s face, or I notice the sound of the birds singing in the early evening. My thoughts lead me back to feeling gratitude for these simple things that show me His light in my life.
With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I give Him my life, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to Him and acceptable by Him. I don’t let the world around me squeeze me into its own mould, but let God re-mould my mind from within, so that I prove in practice that the plan of God is good, meets all His demands and moves me towards the goal of true maturity. I remind myself to look around and find what brings me feelings of joy and gratitude.
The simplest things have great value to me. Little simple gestures change lives daily. The things I do for others because of what He’s done for me make a difference in people’s lives. Little things people do for me, I genuinely appreciate and show gratitude for. Each day the sun rises I feel grateful for the little blessings He blesses me with. I celebrate small milestones along the way.
Life can get pretty complicated sometimes. When it does, I re-focus myself and acknowledge the contentment I find in simplicity. After a hard day’s work, I indulge in something I enjoy. I give myself permission to laugh. And I am grateful for these small moments.
Today, I acknowledge all the wondrous—yet simple—things that surround me. I am so grateful every day for the simple things in my life.
