An Attitude of Gratitude

Today, I just wanted to share something that my aunty forwarded onto me via email. Such an encouragement to me at the time and now as I reflect on it again, but also for everyone at any stage on any day, at any time: there is power in positivity. It’s easier said, then done but as Christians, we can be confident, that God’s right there with us all the way. Perhaps today, we can all benefit from thinking of the things we are thankful for and make a habit of it. I’m going to start with thankyou God for His love and grace and then for my little girl, my husband, my family and friends J

An Attitude of Gratitude- Joyce Meyer

Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say,

Rejoice! Let all men know and perceive and

recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit) . . .

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,

but in every circumstance and in everything,

by prayer and petition (definite requests),

with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

—Philippians 4:4-6

We all need to develop an “attitude of gratitude.”

 This doesn’t mean we should live pretending nothing negative exists.

It simply means we make it our goal in life to be as positive as possible.

 A positive approach opens the door for God to work.

Go to bed tonight pondering everything you have to be thankful for.

Do the same first thing tomorrow morning.

Thank God for everything—a convenient parking place; the fact you can walk, see, or hear; your children.

Don’t become discouraged with yourself when you fall short, and don’t quit.

Keep at it until you have developed new habits.
