Gratitude

Wednesday is a special day around this blog.  I love getting to join in with other Godly women who want to talk about their love for God and the things happening in their lives.  Such a sweet day, indeed.


Colossians 2:6-7 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Psalms 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His loving kindness is everlasting. There are so many things in my daily life that I am thankful for, and many things I need to take a minute and thank God for more often.  I'm guilty of not giving credit where it's due, and my day to day walk in this life is no different.  
The Lord continues to amaze me with His ways in my life. Brian and I, like every other couple, have faced hard times, but the Lord is always faithful to us.  He shows us that He is there even on our dark days.  Being a newlywed isn't always easy.  Finances are hard.  Figuring out how to merge a household is hard.  Adjusting to the new way of life is hard.  Every day there is another challenge in our path, but we both know that relying on God's promises that we are already taken care of and shouldn't fret.
With that being said, I like to let Brian know that I'm thankful for him.  He always (Jokingly) gets onto me for thanking him for little things. But I know in my heart it goes way beyond a simple gesture.  Brian is the man God made for me and every time a "little thing" is done for me, my heart is more at ease with life.  God gave me this wonderful man.
For that, I am full of gratitude.
How do you express gratitude?
