Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.  – Melody Beattie

8 down, 18 to go!

Everything Beautiful

E

There’s beauty around us but sometimes we get blinded by the not so pretty things in life. I guess this is why the Bible reminds us of what to think about.

Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Phil 4:8 (MSG)

I’ll list 10 things which I find beautiful and we can continue the list in the comment section. 🙂

Here they are;

  1. A bride on her wedding day

  2. The sun when it rises in all its splendour

  5. A baby laughing with such cute chubby cheeks- adorable!
