I read this morning a quote from Hannah Whitall Smith. She argues that “the soul who gives thanks can find comfort in everything; the soul who complains can find comfort in nothing.”
I realize the truth of it, especially when she later writes this bold statement:
“There can be nothing in our lives that lacks in it somewhere a cause for thanksgiving, and no matter who or what may be the channel to convey it, everything contains for us a hidden blessing from God.”
How different my days could be if I only believed that every moment has within it a cause for thanksgiving and a hidden blessing from God!
Training the heart towards such truth–remembering it each and every day–changes everything.

Training the heart…not such an easy task some days.
Thanks, Heather, this was one of those days…but now I see some of the blessings.
