Thankful, Giving, Receiving!
Good Morning Christian Peeps! In our Bible study Tuesday night we talked about being Thankful, and how having a spirit of thankfulness affects our everyday life. I believe being thankful creates a circle that is the focus for how our lives can evolve. If we begin to think thankful, write down things we are thankful for, we slowly began to adopt a thankful attitude. When we adopt a thankful attitude, we began to want to share what we have with others, we began to want to help others, give to others..... This opens us up to receiving, which creates more Thankfulness, more Giving and then more Receiving! So when we are thankful, we began to create a world of positive thinking, positive feeling, positive everything. When we are thankful, we can't be negative. For me, it started with being thankful for the little things... hot running water, good coffee in the morning, cold water to drink, warm clothes....I was one of those people who began to keep a gratitude journal and be more aware of what I really truly had. Slowly I watched my attitude change...no longer did I feel that others owed me, but I began to feel so blessed that I wanted to help others and thus the circle began. I believe in my heart that if we can all affect others around us by being more thankful. When we began to practice thankfulness our lives can change and be so much richer! I pray that we all become more thankful and began to spread it around....imagine if it caught on.....what a wonderful world this could be! Be Blessed In Jesus Today!
