Bible Verses for the Grateful Heart

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

Today continues our Grateful Heart Mini-Series over on Lori’s site.

In Lori’s words:

Cultivating a grateful heart isn’t always an easy task. Life is hard. It crashes into us in waves of both good and bad. When all is good, it’s a little easier, but we all know that when life hurts, being thankful doesn’t come naturally.

But you know what?

When it doesn’t come naturally is when we most need to dig in and intentionally keep our gratitude alive!

Be sure to click over to Searching for Moments to read the rest of this post and the special treat that Lori has in store for you.

Bible verses to help you cultivate a grateful heart. Don't miss the rest of the #GratefulHeart series on lorischumaker.com and sunsparkleshine.com

    Marva, this is a wonderful series! I think gratitude opens us up to so much good and carries us through the storms with peace. Love that you and Lori are teaming up to bless us all in this way!

      Thank you so much for those kind words, Crystal. This past week has been a whirlwind and I am so grateful for the lessons God has been teaching me in the midst of it. I’m convinced that both Lori and I will be a lot stronger after this one. 🙂
      Hugs and blessings!

    I love that you and Lori are doing a series on a grateful heart. I hopped over to Lori’s to read the rest. This is a beautiful way to begin Thanksgiving week.

      I’m glad you enjoyed it, Mary. God has been grooming our hearts and Thanksgiving week seems to be the perfect culmination of it all. One thing I know for sure: He always blesses us with good things — even when we don’t see it.
      Blessings to you and yours for the holidays!
