Choosing Gratitude 🙏🏼

Gratitude has saved me more times than I can count. Not because my life has always been perfect, but because in the middle of storms, heartbreaks, and uncertainties, gratitude gave me an anchor.

It’s easy to give thanks when everything is flowing, when prayers are being answered the way we imagined. But real gratitude the kind that transforms you, comes when you whisper “thank you” through tears, when your heart feels heavy but you still find even the smallest light to hold on to.

I’ve learned that gratitude doesn’t erase the pain or the struggle. What it does is shift my eyes to see the blessings hidden in the ordinary: a smile from my kids, a hug that feels like home, the fact that even after being broken, my heart still chooses to love again.

Gratitude is my rebellion against fear, against bitterness, against the lie that I am not enough. Gratitude is my reminder that even when life doesn’t look the way I thought it would, there is beauty in every single day I get to wake up and try again.

Today, I choose gratitude, not because life is easy, but because it is sacred.
