I have a friend to thank for this piece of wisdom that totally rocked my world out loud.
"In every prayer, you express gratitude for blessings, then ask for what you think you need. Gratitude is just part of the makeup of a miracle: you can't have one without it. I believe one reason so many miracles take place at Christmas time is because Thanksgiving comes just before it. The end of every year is like a prayer."
~B.P.
Isn't this pure truth?
We've had a few miracles take place around here. Figuring out how to make words do them justice ...
Prayer must always begin with thanksgiving and worship! I don't remember when I learned this, but it's so so true. It settles the heart.
