Gratitude

I am grateful for the constant flow of God's blessings in my life.

I welcome this day with a thankful heart. Beginning my morning in this way cultivates an attitude of gratitude not only for special occasions but for every day.

As I arise from a peaceful night, I give thanks to God for rest received and for blessings to come. This sets a positive tone, one that attracts life-enhancing experiences to me.

Sharing a simple "thank you" with others generates good feelings. My gratefulness is contagious and becomes a positive, attitude-changing influence.

At the close of the day, I again express my gratitude to God. I give thanks for the kind thoughts of others, an inspiring sunset, and happy times spent with family and friends. And most of all, I give thanks for the constant flow of God's good in my life.

"For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it is received with thanksgiving."--1 Timothy 4:4
