Forming a habit and life rhythm of being grateful is a challenge worth the fight. We live in a culture of negativity and entitlement, thinking that we deserve better than we have it. What better way to worship our Triune God than to be thankful for His plan from the beginning to rescue, redeem and restore us. The process will have a ripple effect into eternity where we can fully appreciate His provision and protection.
“...all the beautiful things that have entered into the heart, mind, eye, and ear. God is saying 'These are nothing compared to what lies ahead.' I still don't know what this means. But I've found that God never places any real emphasis on the present - except as a preparation for the future. We only have a limited sense of reality. This doesn't mean I'm preoccupied with heaven and the hereafter. It just helps me put things into perspective.” - Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni: An Unforgettable Story
