For April 29th:

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

“Gratitude is like a mental gearshift that takes you from turbulence to peacefulness, from stagnation to creativity. Gratitude brings you back to the present moment, to all that is working well in your life right now. Gratitude predisposes your heart to joy, and it is the practice of relentless praise and thanksgiving…gratitude is a choice. It is a conscious and deliberate decision to focus on life’s blessings rather than its shortcomings…”
