The Art of Gratitude

“…There is power in being thankful and appreciating what you have. You can turn your problems into joys when you view them as opportunities to change your circumstances…

Thankfulness is the first step to opening up your mind and heart to replace hurt with hope. Thankfulness means there is a recognition that God is in control, and no matter what the outcome, your troubles will soon be gone and all will be well.

Gratitude is the art of using your faith to seek and discover the blessings within problems and in routine, ordinary tasks in life.

Thankfulness evolves from a heart of hope and joy as you dwell on God’s mercy and His work on your behalf.

Take time each day to think of a way that God has blessed you. Spend time in prayer, acknowledging God’s goodness and thanking Him for His many blessings.” (Thankful)
