The 31 Day of Writing Challenge continues. It’s Day 7 of my 31 Days of Gratitude 2015.

(Since yesterday’s planner post took so long to do, today and tomorrow’s post will be short and sweet. 🙂 )

It’s been a busy week and I haven’t been able to go out walking on one of my favorite ocean trails but today I made sure I got a chance to walk after I dropped the kids off at school. When I am out in nature I am filled with gratitude that I live in an area that is so filled with God’s beauty.

My mind was filled with concern about the troubles in the word, crosses friends are carrying and my own personal intentions but as I looked out at the ocean as far as the eye could see, it reminded me of how tiny I am and how much greater God is. I don’t need to stress or try to figure everything out. Instead, I just need to surrender all to God and trust that he will guide me to know what small part I can play in helping out those around me. For that, I am truly thankful.

What are you especially thankful for today?
