Gratitude is the best attitude. ~Author Unknown

Or do you dwell on the things you don’t have more than the things you do?

Personally, I’m grateful for:
God saving me and watching over me (even before I knew Him)
For my children (without them I would definitely not be where I am today & they mean the world to me)
For my friends (online and offline–thank you thank you and to Julie-LYL & MYL)
For my health
For simply being alive!
For my family (extended family who means the world to me)
For my parents (without them I wouldn’t be)
For the work He is doing in my life and the direction He’s taking me on
For being able to help, bless someone on a daily basis
For my finances
For the roof over my head (though I’m still yearning for my own eco friendly home of my own with my beach entry pool– being grateful doesn’t mean we can’t still desire something ‘more’ while being grateful for what we do have! just being ‘real’)
For the kids I sponsor via Compassion International (while I help them, they help me as well…they help me to show that people do care, people love them, Jesus loves them and there is hope!)
the list goes on and on

Now, it’s your turn!

If you count all your assets, you always show a profit. ~Robert Quillen

I know sometimes we want more or want to not go through difficult situations, but we should always remember the blessings and good things & times we do have in our lives. It may be hard at times to see the things you should be grateful for, but there is always something to be thankful about!

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.
~Gerald Good

With the right attitude (one of gratitude), you can enjoy your life so much more than if you stay focused on envy, jealousy, pity, doubt…like the quote above says “try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily”

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. ~~ Colossians 3:15
