Good day my fellow steemians. Here I talked about “EVERYDAY THANKSGIVING”. 

Most of the culture and religion in which we grew upon, do not have the concept and mindset of everyday thanksgiving. Some religion believe to subscribe in only setting out a particular days for Thanksgiving annually,  why most individuals had also chosen to celebrate and give thanks only when a new good thing happened in their life. 

In life, we, sleeping and waking up all day should be enough reason for us to give thanks to God or whatsoever Supreme power we believe in,  that watches over us. It is believe in many culture that the entire earth is evolved in these elements⏩ Land water, fire, air, sky etc. and they are integral to our existence and sustenance which should be the enough reason to say - Thank you to the Supreme daily, of which we other wise ignored and take for granted.

What if we take Thanksgiving seriously? What if we really give thanks all day? What if we treated every day as a day to give thanks?

 It's interesting that in many part of the world and in a variety of religious traditions, giving thanks is an important tradition, likewise me and some individuals out there. I remember my Apostolic childhood believe that meal and morning devotion is an opportunity for us to give thanks to God Almighty every day. We said “Grace” meals, giving thanks for our daily Bread. The word “Eucharist” means Thanksgiving and for us Christians, it is a good thing for one to receive this sacrament daily if we chooses. For we Christians, maybe we have to take a look at this passage of our bible

 * Chronicles 16:34. * Colossians 3:15-17. * Psalm 30:12.                                        

 

Did anything great happened to you in the last hours? I mean something monumental? Go ahead, review hour day. Maybe you just received credit alert or perhaps you are just delighted because there were no bill to pay!  If you consider this questions, you might reach the conclusion that nothing spectacular  truly easy in life. 

Always celebrate each precious gift of life even as we have dozens of reasons to give thanks, yet we generally take it for granted and fail to see them as precious items to be cherished.  Of course, when any one of them is taken away from us, even temporarily, we take note. But,  day in day out,  we hardly consider our blessings in life. 

Here then I placed out the few things you can do to cultivate an attitude of gratitude in life:

1. Think about your blessings every day. The key 🔑  is to develop a habit of focusing on things you are grateful for. Put a note on your bathroom mirror or carry a card on your wallet or purse with the message, “Count your blessings one by one. ” set aside time each day to reflect on how fortunate you are. This doesn't take time and you will be amazed at the results. 

2. Shift the focus away from difficulties.  When problems arise and you have done all you can to remedy them, train your mind to bring your attention back to your blessings. This helps you to keep things in perspective, e.g. recognising that your health and basic necessities in life are more important than the fact that the office copier will be out of order for a few hours. Besides, when you are relaxed and experiencing positive emotions, you stand a far better chance of coming up with solutions to your difficulties. 

3. Verbalize your gratitude. During conversations at work and at home, express your appreciation for all of the wonderful things and people in your life. You can also express your gratitude to supportive co-workers and family members👪. 

4. lift others in need.  One of the best ways to use your gifts (heath, energy, attitude, etc.) is to share them with others who are having a rough time. 

Just imagine when you made each day, a day of giving thanks,  and carry out these forward for an entire months, really it can make you a world of difference. 

Please let's always exercise gratefulness in our world day by day.
