The Power of Gratitude
Beginning the day with a thankful heart changes how you live that day. By giving thanks to God, you recognize God's presence in the past and know that God will be present in the future. You know that there is nothing you will be facing today all by yourself. From the beginning of Biblical times, people of faith have lived with hope because they remembered the past with gratitude.
-
Begin every prayer with thanksgiving before prayers of petition.
-
Recognize the kindness you have received from someone with gratitude. When you say thank you to someone, you have said that the person is of value to you, and you remind yourself that God has placed people in your life. God sends messengers when you need strength, let them into your life, and you may have allowed God to enter your life.
-
Be the one who can change someone else's day with a word of kindness or a heartfelt smile. To be the source of joy to others will bring you Joy.
Praise God, from whom all blessing flow.
Praise God, the source of all our gifts!
Praise Jesus Christ, whose power uplifts!
-Gilbert H. Vieira
God bless you!
