Gratitude

There is a lot to be said for gratitude. Life is a precious gift, which we should appreciate and enjoy. I know a lovely lady who claims you should live with a grateful heart. Each morning, she thanks God and each evening. If only we could all live our lives like this every day. It is not only giving thanks to God for his precious gift to us. It is good for us to value things. It improves our outlook. We become more positive, and we see even more of the good things God has given us.

We take so much for granted, which can lead to a negative outlook. Living life with a grateful heart means knowing that God has given us everything and that he wants us to be happy. This is the day the Lord has made – rejoice and be glad.
