This morning I reread something I need to remember every day. It’s from a September 2012 post that has helped shape the last three years of my life.

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.
