Gratitude is really the cornerstone of live when you think about it. Being grateful helps me get out of my own way, my own head, and back into the present reality. Hannah Rowen Fry’s gratitude journal, The Way of Gratitude, combines the feel of a devotional with dedicated space to write, allows me to embed this practice into my daily routine.

I started Fry’s journal this afternoon at my local coffee shop. Today’s devotional asked me to consider what I am grateful for, sharing the story of how Jesus fed the 5,000.

I liked Fry’s reminder that “[your gratitudes] don’t have to be significant or deep. I think my problem is, sometimes I try too hard to find happiness in the bigger moments or things, when I really slow down I simply appreciate and am grateful for things like: the man eating yummy avocado toast next to me that smells delightful and the sun hitting my face reminding me that even after the greyest of days, their is always a glimmer of hope.

I look forward to delving into this journal over the coming days and using it as a touchstone throughout the year to refer to.

“May we rest in goodness, gratitude, and wonder all the days of our lives.” Fry writes thoughtful reflections on Scripture, inviting you to marvel at God’s character in The Way of Gratitude.
