Gratitude

1 Thess. 5: 16-18 - "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

What will you thank God for today?

Sometimes I get caught up in the giants that I face each day. My mother always told my brother and I to look for good in every situation and it would out way the bad.

Do you take your blessings for granted? I have and I do! I have a journal that I write down answered prayers in; but I get busy and forget to write all of them down. Jesus healed ten leapers, but only one remained and gave thanks for his healing. Do I give thanks for one and not all the others that have been answered? Do I forget nine times out of ten to notice and give thanks for all my blessings?

I want to have a sensitive, grateful and loving heart. I want others to know that I value their friendship and kindness they have shown me. I want to thank God for all the gifts / blessings I receive each and everyday. I pray that I can live each day with gratitude.
