August 8

So today's thought is about love and gratitude.  I was away at a business conference in Montreal this past weekend and was reminded that love and gratitude seem to be inextricably linked for me.  It is easy for the flame of love to flicker and fade as the people and things that you love become routine, mundane, or all-too familiar... but gratitude wields the power to fan the flame of love and re-ignite passions that grew weak. My new challenge for myself? To think of 10 things that I am grateful for at the beginning and end of each day....

For tonight:
1. The income, choices, and freedom that my direct-selling business has afforded in my life.
2. My children who love and hug me everyday, no matter how I am feeling.
3. The love, faithfulness and support of my husband.
4. The comfort of my home.
5. The fullness of my cupboards.
6. The laughter I share with friends.
7. The beauty of the world.
8. The economic and political stability of my country.
9. My memories.
10. The courage that helps me to key in these words.
11. God who made it all possible and watches over me, waiting to bless me at every opportunity he can....
