It was interesting over Christmas listening to the debate about whether a forced thank-you letter is better or worse than an impromptu thank-you text. Much as I love to receive and send cards and letters, there is something powerful about genuine gratitude.
In Luke 6.45, Jesus is in the middle of saying some pretty amazing things when he says: "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks". Sometimes it's hard to be thankful, other times it's easy, but I know if I keep noticing the little things I'm grateful for then they get stored up and it's words of gratitude that I hear myself speak.
I've so much to be thankful for I don't ever want to take that for granted.
