Gratitude

Gratitude - thank you God.

Maybe you're feeling sort'a blah about life right now. Perhaps life is dealing you lemons. Either way, you might be thinking, what do I have to be grateful for? Well, literally everything. But often times we don't slow down enough to recognize our blessings and say thanx. Gratitude, requires a conscious choice. I choose to be grateful even when my emotions, feelings and circumstances say otherwise. The Rev Billy Graham wrote: "...Thanksgiving...to God for all His blessings should be one of the most distinctive marks of the believer...We must not allow a spirit of ingratitude to harden our heart and chill our relationship with God and with others...Nothing turns us into bitter, selfish, dissatisfied people more quickly than an ungrateful heart..." Take the advice from the psalmist who penned: “…Let them give thanks to the Lord for his love and for the miracles he does for people...”
