Practicing regular thankfulness is an important discipline, because it's much more natural to complain and take things for granted than to appreciate. Every week a group from church meets at our flat for dinner, friendship and prayer. Every week we share one thing we're thankful for, to give God praise and to be encouraged by what's going on in people's lives. Some weeks, when we're not feeling particularly thankful, we have to dig deep, but it's worth it.
This week I made a list of everything I'm thankful for from these past four years in England. Doing this helps me not to live in the future, but realise that one day I'll look back at where I am and think, wow, you had it good. So I might as well think so now.
Here are some things I'm thankful for this week...

Beautiful photos!!
I loved this post, because you are so right - it's easy to get caught up in the negative and forget the simple blessings. Thank you for the perspective!!
Where is the cafe with the teapots in the window?
The teapot window cafe is The Troubadour near Earl's Court. Definitely worth a visit!
