Reminder: For the month of March, I am forming a bouquet of blog posts using a variety of “roses” that will be formed with these petals from the basket : (1) a quotation, (2) a daily verse, (3) a devotional thought, (4) a book dealing with that day’s topic, and (5) an idea to put into practice!

Petal 1: “The grateful heart that springs forth in joy is not acquired in a moment; it is the fruit of a thousand choices.” —Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Choosing Gratitude

Petal 2: “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” (I Thessalonians 5:18, NLT)

Petal 3: It’s easy to read “be thankful in all circumstances,” but it’s difficult to do, isn’t it? Yet, how can I not be grateful when I stop to realize that everything I have—down to the very air I breathe—is from God? No, I won’t always be happy, but I can always choose joy—a joy which is the result of a grateful heart.

Petal 4: I would go so far as to say that Choosing Gratitude, by Nancy Leigh DeMoss, is a must-read book for every Christian woman! (Order your copy from Amazon here or a copy for your Kindle here.) [Affiliate links]

Petal 5: Be intentional about expressing sincere gratitude for at least three of “the little things” today!
