Gratitude Begins with God’s Goodness
Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”
True gratitude starts not with blessings—but with belief. Belief that God is good, no matter what. I watched my son Caleb battle cancer with a heart that still thanked God. Even when his body was failing, his faith was firm. He wasn’t grateful because things were easy. He was grateful because he knew who God was. That kind of gratitude can’t be shaken.
Even today, around the world, people in war zones or poverty still thank God. Why? Because they’ve discovered what we all must—gratitude anchored in God's goodness outlasts every storm.
Reflect: What’s one attribute of God that you’re grateful for today? Praise Him for it—regardless of what you're going through.

About this Plan
What if gratitude didn’t depend on what we have, but on who God is? This 5-day devotional explores how to live with deep thankfulness even in the face of suffering, loss, and uncertainty. Drawing from Scripture, stories of my son Caleb’s courageous gratitude during his cancer journey, and moments of grace that I’ve seen after his passing, this plan invites you to discover a gratitude that is unshakable—because it’s rooted in God’s character, not our circumstances.
