Sometimes, we find big, shiny pieces just waiting for us to pick them up and turn them around in the light....But other times, practicing gratitude is more like sifting for specks of gold mixed in with the mud. We hunt for the truth, the glimmers of goodness. We train our eyes to search for those little bits and rejoice in them because they are valuable, and they remind us that we are in the hands of the One who blesses. When we find them, we scoop them up and treasure them, and realize we are deeply blessed and incredibly rich.
