Lord, Open My Eyes to Recognize You
Gratitude begins when we recognize the presence of Jesus, not only the blessing.


Gratitude begins with recognition. This week, we ask God to open our eyes to His presence, appreciate people while we can, and give thanks even through the valley and the storm. One Word. Every generation.
Gratitude begins when we recognize the presence of Jesus, not only the blessing.

Recognizing God’s goodness in moments we once considered ordinary.





Gratitude is not just appreciating what people do for us. It is recognizing the gift of their presence and telling them while we can.





Gratefulness is recognizing grace and showing appreciation through the way we live, love, and serve.





The valley is real, and so is the Shepherd walking with us.
