~ GRATITUDE ~
By Melody Beattie
Say Thank You until you mean it. Thank God for
Everyone and everything sent your way.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns
what we have into enough, and more. It turns
denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion
to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house
into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems
into gifts, failures into successes, the
unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into
important events. It can turn an existence into a
real life, and disconnected situations into important
and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of
our past, brings peace for today, and creates a
vision for tomorrow.
Gratitude makes things right.
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive
energy. There is a solution, it is gratitude. There
is no situation or circumstance so small or
large that it is not susceptible to gratitude’s
power. We can start with who we are and what we
have today, apply gratitude, then let it work its
magic!
Say Thank You, until you mean it. If you say it
long enough, you will believe it.
Prayer: God, help me to shine the transforming light of gratitude on
all circumstances of my life
