Come, oh Mighty… Splendor desire mindfully learns to be thankful at the very first breath of the day. Graciously trusting in the spirit of the morning, I then partake in the rhythm of nature and contemplate an ultimate determination. The divine Sun positively illuminates a soul with a gracious mind and heart. All matters should be no regret, and everything works together for its good. A sacred assertion of “God, you alone suffice” indicates the acknowledgment of who I want to become and where I want to go.

Why do we start the day with a grateful mind?

We don’t want to lose our chance to be happy. Gratitude is a daily given opportunity. Gratitude flows from God’s generosity, which cannot be limited to our thoughts and feelings. It is a revered blessing from the universe. Only the “mind” attuned to the possibility of being happy with the small things does not want to lose a chance to have gratitude. With gratitude in mind, we believe in the presence of abundance.
