Gratitude for the End of the Day

Before sleep, it's worth looking back with eyes of gratitude. Not to judge the day, but to see God in it. There was breakfast, a roof overhead, someone who cared about you, a strength that showed up right on time. Even a hard day held hidden mercies. Giving thanks at night changes the color of what remains: instead of drifting off counting what was missing, you drift off recognizing what God gave. Gratitude is a sweet way to end the day — it calms the heart and prepares it for rest. Before you turn off the light, say a sincere thank you. The day may not have been perfect, but it was full of care.
