My Gratitude Journal

Saturday, October 23, 2010

To my heart: I am grateful that I have known of the greatness of love. Sometimes I forget just how great and wonderful it really is, but when I allow myself a glimpse despite all the pain that comes with it, I remember the joy and the happiness and there really isn't anything better. Love is knowing God for God is Love!

I'm grateful for my very breathe.
I'm grateful for God's love for me even if at times I struggle to feel it and I struggle to see my blessings in my new life, I know deep down that He does still love me.
