10 Resources for Growing in Gratitude

Gratitude is certainly not an offering to be made only at Thanksgiving.  

But…

the Thanksgiving holiday is an opportune time for making a hard stop and giving some intentional effort toward growing in gratitude.

Below are 10 of my favorite FREE resources for just this purpose.  There is still one week remaining before Thanksgiving.  Perhaps one or more of these resources will make it just a bit easier for you to make that hard stop.

(**I shared these same resources in a post last year, My Top 10 Thanksgiving Resources.  They are so good, they bear repeating.)
