When I was praying Saturday morning, I saw the word Gratitude written in front of me.  God was reminding me to have an attitude of gratitude for all that He has done for me.  We take anything for granted these days.  We do not thank God enough. Also we do not teach our kids to be grateful. Instead we keep feeding their ungrateful behaviour by giving them more of their wants instead of their needs. They need to learn to be grateful.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 MSG (Thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live), Paul instructs us to thank God in everything.  He wants us to have an attitude of Gratitude no matter what.  Learning to thank Him in everything will help us deal with the daily cares of this world.  The mountains before us will be destroyed and our faith will grow stronger. 

When was the last time you really spend time to praise the Lord and to thank Him for all that He has done for you.  I would suggest that you get a notebook and a pen and start writing all the blessings you received during the last few days. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.  Then you will see how blessed you are.  God loves those who are grateful. An Attitude of Gratitude will make you leap for joy.  The more you do it the happier you will be.
