Seeking Goodness, Giving Thanks

As I watched the simple act of making a list of good things turn my son’s day around, I realized that there is power in giving thanks. When we are intentional about mining our memories for beautiful blessings and glimmers of goodness, our gaze shifts from the things of the self to the goodness of God so that we can’t help but “give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men” (Psalm 107:8, NKJ).
