🎶 NEW Joy Talk Show Original Song: “Gratitude Finds Its Voice” 🎶

This song was born from our Gratitude episode — “Giving Thanks in Body, Soul, and Spirit.”
It carries the heart of our conversation: that gratitude lives not only in the moments that heal us, but also in the ones that overflow with joy.

Each verse is a reflection of the ways gratitude shows up —
in friendship that steadies us,
in kindness from strangers (even at the auto store or on the roadside),
in words written, spoken, and sung.

And in the bridge, we’re invited to pause…
to recall one moment from the day we’re thankful for,
and remember what our senses experienced —
the scent, the sound, the light, the feeling —
so gratitude becomes embodied, not just spoken.

🕊️ May this song be a reminder that gratitude doesn’t just lift heavy hearts — it multiplies joy in the ones already full.

It may sound simple — but it can change everything.

In our Joy Talk Show: Gratitude episode, Cynthia McQuade-Brinkman shared a powerful practice she learned during a challenging season — taking a notebook and walking through her home, writing down everything she was grateful for.
Every object, every detail — she listed it all. She said it was a way to shift her focus from what was wrong to what was right, from heaviness to hope.

Pam George shared that she’d been encouraged to do that same practice years earlier while serving as a missionary. At the time, she felt discouraged, focused on what she didn’t have — no power, no washing machine, no dishwasher.
Her mentor asked her to walk through her home and write down what she did have.

“I had a roof over my head,” Pam said. “I had a bed to lie down on. I had my husband with me. I had children who were healthy. And as I started writing, I thought, wow — I have so many things to be grateful for.”

Cynthia’s practice and Pam’s story remind us that gratitude doesn’t wait for perfect circumstances — it grows through simply noticing. 🌿

Take a quiet walk through your home today.
What simple things around you remind you — there is beauty hiding in plain sight? 💛

🌿 Sunday Reflection | Gratitude & Small Kindnesses

Sometimes gratitude comes softly —
in a stranger’s smile,
a door held open,
a message sent at just the right time.

These small kindnesses might seem simple, but they carry the weight of love.
They remind us that we’re seen, that goodness is still moving quietly through the world.

In our Joy Talk Show: Gratitude episode, we shared stories of how even the smallest acts — a napkin offered to messy hands, a meal paid for in secret — left a lasting imprint on our hearts.
Because gratitude isn’t just about receiving blessings; it’s about noticing them, carrying them forward, and passing that light to someone else.

This Sunday, take a breath and look around.
Who has shown you kindness this week?
And how might you show kindness in return?

💛 Every thank-you is a ripple of grace.

☀️ Gratitude Doesn’t Wait for Perfect Days — It Creates Them

Gratitude isn’t about everything being easy — it’s about noticing what’s still good, even when life feels hard.

As Cindy Sheridan shared, after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, it was faith and the love of others that helped her believe again that God is still good. Gratitude grew from that support, one small step at a time.

Cynthia McQuade-Brinkman reminded us that gratitude can literally change the heart — lowering stress, restoring rhythm, and bringing us back to center. It’s a practice that strengthens both body and soul.

Pam George helped us see that gratitude isn’t a quick “thank you,” but a mindset — a way of seeing God’s goodness in the small, ordinary moments. When we slow down long enough to notice, our hearts shift from scarcity to abundance.

And Tracy Rohrer Irons reflected that creativity — poetry, music, community — can become a language of gratitude, helping us express the beauty we might otherwise miss.

So, even when the sky is gray or the day feels long, gratitude is what turns light back on.

It doesn’t wait for the perfect day — it helps create one. 🌿💛

💛 Gratitude: Seeing Goodness in the Hard Places

Gratitude doesn’t erase pain — it reframes it.

In our latest Joy Talk Show episode, we discovered that even in loss or challenge, gratitude invites us to notice the goodness that still surrounds us.
Pam George reminded us that “when we slow down and notice God’s goodness, even in the small things, we stop living from scarcity and start living from abundance.”

Cindy, Cynthia, and Tracy each shared how faith, connection, and creative expression help us find light again.

Gratitude is more than a feeling — it’s a practice that rewires our hearts toward joy. 🌿

Gratitude is multiplied when it’s shared.

Whether through words, touch, prayer, poetry, or simple acts of kindness, gratitude deepens when we express it to and with others.

Cynthia reminded us that “we get to be grateful for what happens to us — but we also get to do something that someone can be grateful for.”

When we notice one another’s needs, offer help, or say “thank you,” we create ripples of healing and joy that reach far beyond ourselves. 💛
