What if gratitude isn’t something you feel, but something you practice—a way of seeing that transforms everything it touches?
 
In a world that rushes past the ordinary, Gratitude in the Margins invites you to slow down and pay attention. This collection of fifty-seven honest prayers will help you cultivate a grateful heart—not by ignoring life’s difficulties, but by learning to recognize grace hiding in plain sight.
This book will help you:

Discover gratitude in unexpected places—in sleepless nights and difficult neighbors, in scars that map your survival and failures that taught you humility, in the ordinary moments you might otherwise overlook
Find language for thanksgiving when words fail—whether you’re wrestling with doubt, celebrating joy, or simply trying to show up on a hard day, these poems give voice to the full range of grateful living
Deepen your spiritual practice—through prayers that are honest about struggle yet grounded in hope, that honor both questions and faith, that meet you exactly where you are
Learn to see with new eyes—as each poem trains your attention on the gifts surrounding you: morning light, patient friends, work that gives purpose, bodies that heal, second chances freely given
Cultivate daily thanksgiving—with reflections you can return to again and again, finding fresh insight each time as your own journey unfolds

More than a book of poetry, Gratitude in the Margins is a companion for anyone seeking to live more attentively, love more generously, and recognize the countless ways God shows up in daily life. Accompanied by contemplative black and white watercolors that create space for reflection, these prayers remind you that gratitude begins not when everything is perfect, but when you learn to notice what’s already here.
 
Open these pages and discover that the smallest gifts often shine the brightest, that ordinary moments can become holy, and that God meets us in the details we might otherwise miss.
