Gladness or Gratitude?
When we experience disappointment and fail to listen to what it’s speaking to us, we have a hard time getting to gratitude because we have often been equating gratitude with appreciation. Disappointment makes appreciation and gladness, or propositional gratitude, difficult to come by. However, when we do allow our disappointments to speak, we may experience authentic humility.
And humility gives us brand new eyes and ears. It's key to the kind of gratitude that transforms.
Doesn't that sound good this Thanksgiving? Less appreciation, and more humble and authentic gratitude?
Join me on today's episode to dig around for the gold that can be found in seasons of disappointment.
