Gratitude is the great shift.
Most days we wake up and our minds sprint straight to what’s missing – the opportunity we don’t have yet, the promotion that hasn’t come, the relationship that hasn’t healed, the scoreboard that doesn’t read what we prayed it would. We stare at the empty space in our lives and miss the goodness that is already right in front of us.
This picture of a cup of coffee is a simple reminder: gratitude changes the lens. The cup doesn’t suddenly get fuller when we become grateful; our awareness does. The same cup, the same day, the same circumstances – but a completely different heart.
Gratitude says, “Lord, before I ask You for anything today, I want to thank You for what You’ve already poured into my life.” The opportunity to live this day. People I love. Lessons learned in the hard seasons. A Savior who meets me in my weakness. None of that is small. All of that is gift.
When we live this way, we stop obsessing over what’s missing and start stewarding what’s already here. Gratitude doesn’t ignore pain or pretend that everything is perfect. It simply refuses to let what’s lacking steal the joy of what’s present. It anchors us in the faithfulness of God, not the inconsistencies of our feelings.
So as you sip your coffee today, pause.
Name three things you’re grateful for right now.
Say them out loud.
Write them down.
Text them to someone.
Let that simple practice reframe your entire day.
Because the goal isn’t a life with no gaps; it’s a heart that sees God’s goodness even in the gaps. And that begins when gratitude shifts your focus from what’s missing to what’s already here.

So much discussion on this Winter Storm and possible ice accumulation. When totals start to near 1/2 inch bigger impacts start to occur. Power outages are one concern. Ice adds to the weight of the power lines. To the point they can't hold it. Thus toppling over or breaking. Wind can have them sway and collide. Trees also can not handle the weight. They can fall and have branches snap. Some on power lines. Some on roads. Some on houses and cars. With the freezing cold air incoming some of this ice might stick around. Thus slowing restoration. Along with the vast areas expected to experience this.

Kirby Smart said, “The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement. If you can stomp it out with leadership then you can stay hungry.”
Entitlement is the enemy of hard work.
It means you’re not living with a growth-mindset.
