"The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it."~Chuck Swindoll
"The soul that gives thanks can find comfort in everything; the soul that complains can find comfort in nothing." ~Hannah Whitall Smith
"If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get." ~Frank A. Clark
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!" ~Henry Ward Beecher
"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. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." ~ Melody Beattie
"Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people." I Chron. 16:8
"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever." I Chron 16:34
"Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness." Psalm 30:4
"At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments." Psalm 119:62
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I Thess 5:18
It's a choice.
My choice.
Your choice.
Are we going to grumble about the problem? Or rejoice that we know Who can solve it?
Are we going to pout because we didn't get our way? Or be thankful that someone else is taking responsibility?
Are we going to complain about the situation? Or give thanks?
I choose to be thankful. I want my attitude to bring glory to God.
