Let’s make gratitude a habit!

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Let’s make gratitude a habit!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes things can rub me the wrong way… in other words, annoy or irritate me. How do I react when that happens?

I choose gratitude rather than an “attitude.” I consciously try to choose to be thankful for all the good things that God has given me, rather than complaining!

For example, maybe your child, teenager, and/or spouse isn’t acting exactly how you’d like, but there are certainly things inside of them that you appreciate. Be grateful for the good things! Don’t focus only on what bothers and displeases you.

The Bible says that it’s out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks (see Luke 6:45). If you’re feeding your heart negative feelings, they’re certain to end up coming out of your mouth and making the situation worse.

But when we’re living in a place of daily gratitude for the things that God has given us, then, like a good father, He causes them to multiply in our lives!

Today, choose to live in gratitude. Make it a life habit! Begin and end each day with gratitude… don’t let what’s irritating you determine your attitude!

    I’m going thru some family issues right now, but I’m grateful that God is in control. And that all will turn out for his glory

    I pray that I can always walk close enough to the Lord, that no matter what the situation others would see Jesus in me. I have so much to be grateful for and I pray that I always remember, that we all have come short of God’s glory. At some point we all mess up and we all need Grace.
