Choose to be thankful!

Every single person reading this post has some valid complaints that could be expressed about life.

Every single person reading this post also has some valid reasons to be thankful.

It will be helpful and it will increase our joy if we will focus our attention on those reasons for gratitude. It will be to our advantage, believe it or not, if we will genuinely express thanks.

I encourage all of us, myself included, to choose to be thankful.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

 

Those Who Are Fully Awake Are The Ones Who Are Grateful

Authentic gratitude requires that we wake up, take notice and genuinely savor the moments of our lives.  Those people who have the most grateful hearts tend to be the ones who are vitally engaged—fully awake, fully aware, fully alive.   “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” 1 Thess. 5:18
