Grey days and gratitude
February 26, 2019
Grey, foggy days in Chicago’s cold February tempt us to see grey in our day, other people, our work, and all actions. My solution is gratitude. I begin listing what I’m grateful for. This changes our focus from self, grey sky, and disappointments, to God and his grace in every moment we breathe.
Give thanks if you can walk to the mail box. Many can’t. Give thanks if you can lift your coffee cup and savor even the smell. Many cannot, or have no coffee, or even no cup.
Many don’t know God to thank Him for the air they breathe, and that they have each day with the promise of meaning if they were Christ followers.
The fog may not lift, but your focus will.
