30 Things to be Grateful For Today

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to share 30 things to be grateful for throughout the year. Some days are good, some days are bad, but through our hope in Jesus, there is always something to be grateful for.

The simplest way to turn any day, week, month or year around is to put on an attitude of gratitude, even if you have to fake it until you make it. If things look tough in the future, you can always try to focus on areas of your life that you are grateful for instead. Instead of embracing the chaos, think about how you can be grateful for it.

Every day we have the choice to be grateful for the people and things in our lives. Gratitude is associated with positive emotions, a stronger immune system, and overall general happiness. I will take that any day of the week!

When I read the book “The Good and Beautiful God” by James Bryan Smith, one of the soul exercises was to make a list of things you are grateful for. Stop what you are doing right now and write a list of things you are grateful for. Think hard, I know you can do it.

If you need some inspiration, here is a list of 30 things to be grateful for today.
