I wondered... Is the rain ever going to stop...? This is so frustrating! It has been raining constantly for the last two weeks!! Ugh...

I remember a couple year ago, I had looking forward to planting a garden.

With all the rain, my mood was anything but grateful. I’m sure you can understand what I’m talking about.

I needed to make a decision: I could continue to blame the rain, or, I could change my mindset and let the rain work in my favor.

So I purchased the seeds and plants, drew out my garden plan on paper, and made sure I had every needful thing.

I recognized that Heavenly Father is in charge of the elements. I thanked him for the rain and let him know how excited I was to plant a garden when the rain stopped. 

When the rain finally quit, it was late for spring planting in east Idaho’s short growing season.

I quickly enlisted my family’s help in preparing the garden spots, both in ground and above ground. Within a few days everything was planted.

It was stressful, but joyful working our little piece of heaven. I carried a prayer in my heart that God would bless our efforts and that we would receive an abundance of produce.

We had so many projects going on over the summer; it was overwhelming.

Many times, wanting to cry because of the burdens I chose to carry, I would go out to work in my garden... feeling like it was a drudgery.

But then something amazing happened! Every single time I found myself showing gratitude for the buds, blossoms, flowers, fruits and vegetables and the absolute abundance God was giving us.

He not only was blessing our efforts, but He also lifted my burdens and helped me find joy in the journey.

 If you want to bring more gratitude into your life, try these 5 things:

1. Understand that nature heals—it improves your mood, mindset, and mental health, reduces stress, lifts burdens, and brings in a desire to express gratitude to your Creator.

2. Give your mindset permission to be flexible—this will allow for your thoughts and feelings to change which will help you take charge of the situation, instead of letting the situation taking charge of you!

3. Recognize the power of intention—setting a powerful intention will help you purposefully prepare for the outcome you desire.

4. Find joy in the journey—look for things that fill your heart with joy and count them as blessings.

5. Remember that God hears and answers your prayers—in His timing. Trust that He knows exactly how to bless you with the best outcome.

 With love,

Jeri
