Pray Without Ceasing? I close my eyes and bow my head. Then, I pray softly to myself to stay focused: “Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful day. . . .” My mind drifts to the day’s tasks...
I try to say ten “thankfuls” every night before falling asleep and ten “thankfuls” when I first wake up before thinking of everything else of the day.
It is a habit I learned from the book series by Sharon Garlough Brown, starting with Sensible Shoes. It is a fiction series that embraces and teaches aspects of spiritual formation through a fictionalized story.

Oh, I love the idea of that practice of thankfulness! 😊 I read sensible shoes and really enjoyed it. I probably need to read it again.
