Some days you just wake up grateful.  That's all - just plain grateful. Grateful that you know you have a God. Grateful that He keeps your heart beating through the night.  Grateful that you have enough breath in your body to give God praise.  Grateful that no matter what things look like, God is greater.  Grateful that you have another day and another chance to make a difference in someone's life. 

Grateful for family, and friends, and things that make you stronger. Grateful for the good, and grateful for what God is turning around for your good. Grateful for shelter, and safety, and peace.  Grateful for who you used to be because it has made you who you are - that's the way God planned it and He doesn't make mistakes. Grateful because He didn't have to do it...but He did.

Now is a good time to find a place, give Him praise, and tell Him over, and over, again,       "God, I'm grateful!" If the Lord has you on hold... hold on! If the Lord has said "No" to you... thank Him! If the Lord is molding your heart and mind... go with His change!

If the Lord opens doors that you have asked Him to open... Praise Him! Be blessed wherever you are in your life today! God has His hands on the situation!
