It’s the opening line of a book I have been reading to my son in this season of life. And it has me thinking: Do I wake up “with a very thankful heart?” Or is this another one of those times as a parent where the books we hope to influence our children do not seem to pierce our callous heart? I’ll admit, this is a bit melodramatic. One of my family values is “gratitude.” I am passionate about the power of gratitude from both a biblical and psychological perspective. At my best gratitude is even part of my daily liturgy and routine. However, that’s not every day. So here I am, back to reading that line with my son and I feel a sense of resolve to create a resource for myself to come back to.
