Developing a habitually grateful heart is not a discipline to be mastered or another reason to feel guilty and stressed. The author has found, over and over, that the rhythm of real divine renewal beats in the pulse of a grateful human heart.
I'm at this point in my life as the author described her relationship with her mother and grieving. Spiritually I know God is in control and our days are appointed but, on the other hand, I'm still my mother's daughter, child. Thankfully, I have always told my mom how much I appreciate and love her but letting go is a hard place to be. I hang on to that hope that we will see each other again on the other side of eternity.
