Be Grateful

An attitude of gratitude. Sometimes we all need to make the time and reflect on the many things for which we are grateful. When we have a heart of gratefulness it tends to put the happenings of life in perspective. There is an old song that says "count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your blessings see what God has done. Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your many blessings see what God has done". Pull out that pen and paper or whatever electronic device you may use and list out your blessings, the things you are grateful for and things for which you are thankful. If you woke each morning and made it a practice to list your blessings and start your day with a heart of gratefulness you will see a change in the way your day will go. Before you worry about the cares of life or go over your to do list or dwell on what may go wrong, fill your heart and mind with thoughts of what you are grateful for and your blessings. This could be contagious.
