PSALM 118:28-29
Ungratefulness is a powerful opponent that steals our focus, and ultimately it can sabotage our dreams. It may feel like a normal response to pain and disappointment, but it usually makes things harder than they need to be.
Being grateful changes our perspective. It opens the heavens and makes us aware that God is actually giving us gifts every day and that those gifts offer numerous opportunities to unlock our dreams.
Gratitude helps us feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve our health, deal with adversity, and build stronger relationships.
According to Melody Beattie, “it unlocks the fullness of life…turns what we have into enough, and more…turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity…turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”
