My thought is to at the minimum record those things for which I'm grateful. I'd love to uncover some of the blessings that I chronically do not recognize. I think that the majority of our blessings are unrecognized and taken for granted. I'm hoping that I may unlock the doors of heaven by allowing the Lord to show me all that He does give me. I'm certainly not ungrateful but I do believe I can increase my gratitude.
I think I'd like to make this a year long effort at minimum. I'll be interested to see how my life is different in a year as I hopefully increase my gratitude.
I was teaching a sunday school lesson today about Job. What a wonderful lesson about gratitude. So many awful things happened to him. So many people were against him. Even his own wife. Physical afflictions that are just nasty to think about. And yet, he NEVER lost his focus or his gratitude. He was always certain of his relationship with the Redeemer of Israel. He knew that Jesus was the Savior. I think gratitude is a foundation for faith.
