GRATITUDE JOURNAL

Sometimes things get so hectic that they make you want to pull your hair out and ssssccccrrrreeeeeaaaammm! BUT through it all, there is still something worth being grateful to God for. For some, life isn't worth living any longer because they feel as if they have nothing or no one to live for, but if you can just find anywhere from one to five (or more) things to be grateful for daily, you'll see that your situations aren't really as bad as they seem.

I encourage you to start a GRATITUDE JOURNAL. The only thing you have to do is write down what you're grateful for...and that's it! You can keep a journal, put it in your phone, or store it on your computer.When you're having bad days, you can refer back to your journal entries and see that you definitely DO have something to live for! Feel free to comment & share!

I AM GRATEFUL FOR this comfortable bed I'm laying in

I AM GRATEFUL FOR central air conditioning during these hot months

I AM GRATEFUL FOR God still finding me worthy enough to work for him 
I AM GRATEFUL FOR such a supportive, loving family 
I AM GRATEFUL FOR my life,health, and strength
This is only a very insy, winsy portion of the things I am grateful for. I pray that you too start a gratitude journal to see that there IS hope left!
---->The first 5 readers to comment on this post with at least 3 things they're grateful for will be entered into a drawing for a gratitude journal! **For your entry to be "official", you must be a follower. To be a follower, click on the FOLLOW/JOIN THIS SITE button on the right.** Just want to show my gratitude for YOU! ENDS Monday, Aug. 8th at12 midnight.


Thanks for reading!

  1. I remember when we used to have to do this for a grade in Mr. House's class. LOL and he didn't play if you didn't have it either. ZERO LOL That was a throwback moment but having that really helped. I think I still have mine. But three things I am grateful for are:
    1)Family-its a blessing to have one. Through good and bad.
    2)Life-its always a blessing to be alive AND well.
    3)Friends-always there to have your back through whatever you go through.
    And the list goes on and on lol.................

  2. LOL! Girl, we sure did have to have one for his class (too funny). I don't know where in the heck mine is. At the time, it didn't mean as much as it does now (thank God I now SEE, lol). I adore the things you're grateful for & appreciate you sharing it with me and others! You have been entered into the drawing. You are so sweet & I'm GRATEFUL FOR YOU! Bless ya boo, lol.

  5. Wonderful post. I think I will start a gratitude journal of my own. It'll come in handy when "he" tries to tell me something is impossible. I will be able to reflect on the things that HE has already done, see where I've come from, and know that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Great post!!!

    1. I am grateful for my family that I can always count on.
    2. I am grateful for all the soldiers who fight daily, keeping the war overseas, and risking their lives so that I won't have to.
    3. I am just grateful to be alive and have a purpose!!!
