Day 4: Reflect on Gratitude and Its Place in Your Life

Today is my birthday and I am thankful to make it to another one. I have not always been thankful for the life that I have been given and, to be honest, I am not always these days either. However, gratitude should always be a part of my life regardless of the things that may or may not be happening to and around me. I should always be grateful for the life that He gave to me and for the life that He gave for me. I am thankful that He loved me enough to sacrifice Himself for me.

Being grateful in all things, both good and bad, is something that I continue to try to master. It isn't easy, but I know that it is something that I must do.


Daily Journaling: Three Things I am Grateful for Today

1. I am thankful for those that care whether my birthday is happy or not.

2. I am thankful for Black Forest Cake loaded with cherries that my son made for me. 
Here is a YouTube video about making a Black Forest Cake.


3. I am thankful for special dinners, even when I am the one that has to cook them. I love to cook!
