“The kind of gratitude that receives even tribulations with thanksgiving requires a broken heart and a contrite spirit, humility to accept that which we cannot change, willingness to turn everything over to the Lord -even when we do not understand, thankfulness for hidden opportunities yet to be revealed. Then comes a sense of peace. “When was the last time you thanked the Lord for a trial or tribulation? Adversity compels us to go to our knees; does gratitude for adversity do that as well?” WellsHeartKindDoeLastsSpiritTurnsOpportunityAcceptingLordHumilityBrokenGratitudeAdversityTrialsKneesWillingnessLast TimeThankfulnessTribulation Author:Bonnie D.

“I've found in my own life that the older I get, the more stubborn I am in my beliefs and opinions. Without keeping my ego in check, it would be easy for me to bail on relationships when I didn't agree with someone. The antidote to this problem is humility, plain and simple. The more we claim an unassuming nature, the more we believe the best about people and situations, and the more we try and see others through the lens of love. We are then given the opportunity for our relationships to grow.” PeopleTryingBelieveProblemOpportunityBeliefEasySimpleSituationOpinionHumilityEgoAgreeOur RelationshipStubborn Author:Anne Marie Miller
