gratitude

I was reading in the latest Real Simple magazine and they had a section on Gratitude. Which inspired me to make November: Gratitude Month! It was surprising to me that the culture we live in today, with the economy struggling and many souls not knowing the Savior, that they would be pursing thankfulness. The question that dwells in my mind, is who are they thankful to??? Even though their gratitude and mine may not be directed towards the same giver, it still was a good reminder to grow in gratitude.

gratitude- the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful; appreciation; The state of being grateful; warm and friendly feeling toward a benefactor; kindness awakened by a favor received; thankfulness.

So, this November, please join with me in expressing thankfulness to the One who met our greatest need on the cross, and continues to pour out His goodness and kindness to us on this earth. From big to small we have lots to be thankful for.

Colossians 2: 6,7 "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, ust as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
