The Power Of Gratitude

Greetings to all, on this "Grateful" Thursday, despite what we have or don't have in life, let us not be lured and enticed into wanting more.

There will be times in life when we will feel that something is missing, we are not enough, or what we have is not enough. The desire for more and those feelings and thoughts can mislead us, stress us and weigh us down. But we must let them cause us to trust God for His provisions and tap into the power of gratitude.

Genesis 3:6 (MSG)

6 When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it—she'd know everything!—she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband, and he ate.

James 1:14 (RSV)

14 but each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

Lesson: Once we learn to tap into the power of gratitude and be thankful for what we already have, it will bring joy and contentment into our lives and change everything, especially our outlook on life. Gratitude has the power to turn our not enough into enough.
