Morgan Nicole Harper writes some beautiful poetry. Check out her writings. I gave one of her books as a Christmas gift. It was well received. Morgan Harper writes with a youthful spirit, but her soul is wise.
"Gratitude: The quality of being thankful in mindful , intentional ways. Even when it seems that nothing has changed. It is the readiness to perceive how beautiful this life can be, even in uncertainty. " -MNH
Negativity and hopelessness is an evil stalking the earth. Finding gratitude in the ordinary moments comes from being ready to perceive the beauty in this life. We must continue to be mindful and intentional.
I rarely repeat a verse two days in a row, but this scripture is perfect for today, too.
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33
Take heart. Have hope. Look up and think positive. We can be mindful in ordinary moments. Savor the scent of coffee, cacao or tea brewing. Be intentional in feeling a soft blanket or snuggling into a good pillow. Let chocolate melt in your mouth. Take in the scent of a freshly mopped floor. Savor the moments that matter on this day.
When nothing seems to change... and perhaps things seem worse... often good change is just around the corner. Sometimes, things take a little longer. Sometimes, only God really sees the perfection of His ways.
I am grateful; not because things are always perfect, but because His ways are perfect. Even when little makes sense. We can have peace in Him.
Today, I am grateful for lessons learned in uncertainty.
