To be grateful means when you feel thankful for the good thing in your life.

January 5, 2025

To be grateful means when you feel thankful for the good thing in your life. It could be having a roof over your head, food to eat, water to drink and bath in, the clothes you wear, your spouse, your children, stepchildren, daughter and sons in laws, siblings, friends, parents, your health, your eye sight, living in a country where you can worship the Lord, being thankful for God and all the wonderful things He does and so on and so forth. It is being grateful for what you have. Being thankful and filled with gratitude is a very important ingredient in life. Today tell 7 people why you are grateful that they are in your life. Say good morning to those around you, open a door for someone, smile, laugh, and enjoy for we have so much to be grateful and thankful for. Maybe by doing this other might catch on and begin to do the same. “O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.” (Psalms 95:1-3) Be filled with gratitude, be thankful! God Bless. Amen.
