Scripture’s for Giving Thanks-ARE YOU GRATEFUL

Have you ever notice that Grateful people are Happy people? Everyday we face challenges that can derail us, change our moods or mind sets. One thing we need to remember, is that we do have a choice in how we respond. We can choose to be people who complain or we can Choose to be people who are grateful.

It’s it not always easy but I choose to count my blessings. I choose to see the good. I choose to fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith.

Sometimes we all need that reminder that everything we have is a gift from God and without gratefulness, we become arrogant and self-centered. We can begin to believe that we have achieved everything on our own strength.

Thankfulness keeps our hearts in right relationship to the Giver of all good gifts.

Even if your going through a difficult stage and find it hard to smile, you can dig deep within and find soo many reasons to greatful! Be it; breath, legs, sound mind, family, friends or the love of Christ himself 💗
