Count the mornings you woke up without trying. Those were all gifts.

Waking up is not an achievement and it is not owed to you either. It arrived every morning without a request and without you arranging anything, which is exactly why it disappears from view. Most of what holds your life up is like that, running underneath the things you are counting. Gifts stop looking like gifts when they are reliable.

Count back over the last week and name three mornings that simply happened. Say thank you to God for them specifically rather than in general. Attention is what turns something ordinary back into something you notice receiving.
