UNLOCK GRATITUDE

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”

Melody Beattie

Don’t you find it interesting how on FACEBOOK or TWITTER folks moods can go from spectacular to sullen, fabulous to faulty or terrific to terrible in a matter of a click or two?  The morning report looks rosy and by dinner time the day and life have turned that rose into a thorny and bitter bud.

Can I offer a little cure for this bouncing back and forth?

Before you tweet or push the send, unlock a little gratitude first and remember the great gifts of GOD. That might just delay the depressed information download.

James 1:17

So, my very dear friends, don’t get thrown off course. Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle.

So before posting the pitiful, count those blessings and leave the bummers buried.

Ephesians 1:3

How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ.

I promise that will move the needle from frustrated to flourishing, from beaten to blessed, and from overwhelmed to overjoyed!

Brian Tracy says it this way…

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”

Simple short message today but take it to heart!

Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have; GOD’S GOODNESS. 

It is ours 24/7, 365. 

Be grateful friends.  THE LORD IS GOOD!

Psalm 34:8

The Voice (VOICE)

8 Taste of His goodness; see how wonderful the Eternal truly is. Anyone who puts trust in Him will be blessed and comforted.

 

Now that is something worth “tweeting” about.

Have a great day!

I love you all!
