Cultivating an Attitude of Thanksgiving and GratitudeSample

# Seeking Thanksgiving and Gratitude Every Day. Every day we have so much to be thankful for. First and foremost, as believers we are thankful to God our Father in Heaven. We should be thankful and grateful for His great love in which He sent His Son to die on our behalf. We should be thankful for Jesus Christ for His sacrifice on our behalf so we can have forgiveness, salvation, and life in Him. We should be thankful for His Spirit - the Holy Spirit Who actively works in our lives. We should be thankful for even the gift of life itself. We should be thankful for every breath that you and I take because it is truly a gift from God. There are so many seemingly mundane things we could thank Him for. So many things that we could make an infinite list in thanksgiving to God about, if we put ourselves to the task of making such a list. It really comes down to the attitude of our hearts and whether or not we choose to thank God and see His hand in every "little" and "big" aspect of our lives. In the midst of everyday life, thank God. We need to have a continual attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude every day, month, and year. Don't wait for just a handful of holidays to bring your thanksgiving to Him. Bring glory and thanksgiving to God in every possible opportunity. Seek to live your life in such a way that it exudes your thanksgiving to God. He first gave to us through His Son Jesus Christ and we in turn, not out of guilt or because "we have too", should give Him thanks and gratitude for each moment. Because in each moment we have the gift and opportunity to serve the God of the Universe and the God of our Salvation in what He has given us to do. Maybe you and I could set aside time each day just to thank Him through our prayers? Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't it also be great if thankfulness and gratitude became such a part of us that we wouldn't need reminders? I pray that God will help all of us have an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude. I pray that we will make it a major part of our life and walk. He is more than worthy of our praise! More than anything we can offer, He deserves our thanksgiving, gratitude, and praise.
