The Power of Gratitude 

September 29, 2015 By Ruthie Ridley 20 Comments

“A grateful heart finds the countless blessings of God in the seemingly mundane everyday life” -unknown

I think that attitude in life is everything. On my lowest of days, I feel as though God finds a way to remind me that things could be worse. Lately, I’ve just been finding myself saying thank you for the minor things that if they were not in alignment could be huge and devastating. For example: my health, my job, my home, my children, my spouse, their health etc, etc.  In saying thank you, it has kept me positive, truly grateful and more aware of every single blessing. Things are far from perfect, but I feel immensely rich and undeservedly blessed. I’m also so much more aware that every single day, hour, minute of my life is a gift and I need to be grateful for that! Just some recent thoughts!!! Lol

On to this crazy amazing statement necklace by Mirina Collections. I love their pieces because they are handcrafted & made with such quality! This particular piece is called the “Vivian.” So incredibly gorgeous!!! Please feel free to get your shop on and use the code “ruth20” at checkout for 20% off your purchase!!! I hope you are all doing well this week! Thank you for stopping by the blog!

Ruthie xoxo

    Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.

40 felt like loss, a lot of shaking, redefining, realignment and also complete uncertainty - but in the midst of it all I never lost everything that actually mattered - I clung to Jesus, I had my beautiful family and my incredible friends. Hard seasons shape us differently and they feel awful as you’re walking thru, but it can also be beautiful on the other side.
