An Experiment Worth Trying
“…Which comes first, happiness or gratitude?
An anonymous wise person has come to this conclusion ‘It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.
Perhaps you know happy people who depend on happiness—on random chance—for life’s good things: they may not know anyone (or Anyone) to thank and therefore aren’t very thankful. But thankful people, those of us who thank God for all that puts a smile on our faces, will know the contentment that comes as we walk with Him.
So, not feeling especially happy? Start thanking God for something. As your list grows, you may find a taste of happiness. It’s an experiment worth trying…” (Thankful)
