“When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.” Luke 24: 30-31
Did you ever notice that joy and gratitude operate together in an upward spiral? In her book Atlas of the Heart author Brene Brown cites research that shows greater gratitude leads to greater joy. This great joy in turn leads to greater gratitude – an upwards spiral.
This week try to be conscious of moments of joy or gratitude. When you come upon a joyful moment pause, as in stop what you’re doing if you can, and take three deep breaths in and out. Name and absorb this moment of gratitude and joy and add it to your long term memory.
We hope this brings you some comfort and joy! You can spread the joy by liking, commenting and sharing this post with others. Be sure to subscribe and never miss a post.
