The Power of Thankfulness

Recently I’ve been reading through a daily devotional series by Joyce Meyer titled “The Power of Being Thankful”. Putting into practice the attitude of thankfulness is not an easy thing in every aspect of our daily lives, but by learning to have an attitude of thankfulness in every situation, our perspective on different life events completely changes, and it will give us a greater appreciation for everything and more joy in our lives.

Here’s a quote from yesterday’s devotional.

“I encourage you to examine your life, to pay attention to your thoughts and your words, and to see how much thanksgiving you express. Do you murmur and complain about things or are you thankful?

If you want a challenge, just try to get through an entire day without uttering one word of complaint. Develop an attitude of thanksgiving in every situation.”

Hope I can become a more thankful person in every aspect of my life.

I hope this for you as well... I was going to say “have you tried prayer” but that is just shameless on my part ;)

It’s a great word and one we would all do well to heed and implement in our lives. Too much discontent, too much “unthinkable” and sure enough we are just miserable, miserable people. Life is way to short this side of heaven for that kind of garbage stinking up the place in our souls.

lovely message @nextgen622! sometimes we complain about everything we don't have forgetting all that we have. For life it is enough reason to thank God. I just resteem your post.

Just about that the Lord was driving me through on my thoughts... Yesterday my mom (60 YearsOld) went to the doctor due to some pain on her womb for several days now, I did not want to admit it but I was pretty worried and scared, I said to her dont worry mommy everything will be just fine in Jesus Name. iI spent the whole afternoon at work thinking about it when I really felt God telling me; Hey! I made a promise to you and I would make it happen! (She's doesnt go with me to church) So I relly on that promise, then I call my wife to know if she had some news (I was too nervous to call my mom from myself) I heard some really great news from my wife, Doctor said she was just fine, found her womb clean as a whistle and all the pain she had was because some colon problems regarding the diet now we are been force to have here at Venezuela (a lot of beans)... But not big a deal! So I just want to share this testimony to glorify Jesus name! And express my gratefulness to Him.

Thank You Jesus!
