"No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. Any amount of grateful joy changes the present." -Ann Voskamp
I love this quote. I know it is true. Some things we cannot change. We were only given one day at a time. We can choose our focus and our aim.
Intentionality is within our skill set. What shall we choose on this day?
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." -2 Timothy 1:7
We can choose gratitude over fear. We can choose to live with joy for the gift of a new day and a chance to "try again" as my Mama would say. We can choose to frame what we have as a gift... and celebrate that it is enough.
Seeing the "enough" in this day's provisions unlocks the power of gratitude that results in the ability to live joyfully beyond any circumstance.
Today, I am grateful for the power of gratitude.
