The Beauty in Gratitude

Find the beauty in gratitude. As I was shopping, in the cosmetic area of course, a young woman who was a stranger to me overheard me say that I was an esthetician. She surprised me by saying that she wanted to pay for one of my makeup items because her sister who is deceased was studying to be an esthetician when she passed away. Wow!! This exchange brought about so many emotions and brought tears to my eyes!

Creating Stepping Stones for His Glory

Creating stepping stones for his glory. I was only 5 when, having already gone through childhood trauma, I watched my mother, suddenly single, struggling to survive with four young children. Financially illiterate and devastated by her sudden change in circumstance, my mother worked day and night to feed, clothe, and protect us. She even left her nursing career to have more freedom and earning potential raising us by herself, but still, we never knew if our basic needs would be met. 

Creating an Environment of Gratitude

Create an environment of gratitude. God has an abundant Kingdom where lack doesn’t exist. When people and circumstances try to test our gratitude, remember to seek Him first. God has an excellent track record of creating ways for needs and concerns to be supplied that we least expect. Where there is an abundance of gratitude, we no longer strive to survive. We know that our King can take care of every single need.

The "Microwave" Society

Living in this microwave society, I’m going to stop asking God questions (just kidding, but not really). I’m learning that everything in life has a process and there’s absolutely no way around it. We live in a society, that I call “someone else’s microwave society.” It used to be a “microwave society,” where we want things fast and in a hurry. We want to skip steps in the process so that we can get things now.
