– Being thankful for the things God has given me –
There are unlimited things that you may want in your life. You don’t always get what you want. But even when you don’t have something you want you can choose to focus on things that you do have that you are thankful for. Gratitude chooses to be thankful for the good things God has given you. At any time, even when you are having a terrible day you can start thanking God for good things He has put in your life. When you have a grateful heart, you can be joyful in any situation.
“Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” – Psalm 106:1 (NIV)
