The Patriot Report – April 16

REFLECTION

“Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” – Psalm 96:11-12

Let us look for ways to practice gratitude and appreciation each and every day. I really do believe that is the key to living well. Learn to see the blessings of God in each and every day. Some days are easier than others for sure. There is no doubt that life is full of tragedy and suffering. But it is also full of wonder and joy. There is beauty all around us. If we have eyes to see it and a heart to appreciate it, then joy will be yours. Let us give thanks for all that we have.
