Look At It This Way

Let’s be honest—staying grateful is hard. Even in good seasons, we find ourselves slipping into worry, comparison, and complaining. That’s why Pastor Mason’s recent message hit home.

He reminded us that gratitude isn't a feeling—it's a perspective. And if we don't check it regularly, it can quietly vanish.

Our thoughts matter. What we dwell on determines how we respond. Philippians 4 doesn't just suggest prayer—it demands we bring every worry to God with thanksgiving. That’s not a coincidence. Neuroscience now confirms what Scripture has said all along: your brain can't function in fear and gratitude at the same time.

And that complaining stool? It was hilarious—but real. We all sit on our version of it when we start to vent about the blessings we begged God for.


The good news? You can change your perspective. Today. Right now. Take 30 seconds to thank God for three things in your life. Watch how fast your mindset shifts. Peace is possible.

Not from circumstances changing—but from focusing on what’s good, true, and lovely.
