In everything give thanks

I would like to share a suggestion made to me years ago. When you wake up each morning let your first thoughts be of the things for which you are thankful. It may feel strange at first, but believe me this will work in your favor. Before you start to concern yourself with the cares of the day, train your mind to first mentally list 10 things you are thankful for. Life. Health. Strength. Good nights sleep. The ability to walk. The ability to think. A God to serve. Your family. A place to live. Food to eat. A job to go to. Whatever comes to mind list those things in your mind with a thankful heart. If this becomes your habit, your approach to life and the start of your day will change. Try it. Commit to doing this every day for a week and you tell me. Isn't life just a little bit different and better.
