Nothing changes your life like an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude is the world’s healthiest human emotion. Gratitude actually increases your immunity to sickness. Have you noticed that most ungrateful people are also unhappy people? Ungrateful people are hard to please, they never have enough, and little if anything satisfies them. Showing gratitude is a world changer. God instructs us and challenges us to be grateful regardless of what we are going through in life. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.) As we go through this time of Thanksgiving, let us begin by being grateful for all the blessings God has given us throughout the year. If you are feeling lonely and depressed because of things that happened, or changes that have taken place in your life, start by writing down 10-20 good things that have happened this year. Soon, your mind will leave those negative thoughts that have you depressed and your world will change as you focus on the good things God has done for you. We take so much for granted in this world, but, nothing happens in our lives that God does not see, understand, or allow. I am amazed when I look back and see the hand of God leading through every decision or change we have made in this life. Develop an attitude of gratitude and watch your world change right before your eyes. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
