An Attitude of Gratitude

I am so grateful that I decided to do these posts this month. We were discussing at church today all the blessings and benefits that come from showing gratitude and saying thank you to someone. The two simple words "Thank You" can be two of the most powerful words in the English language. Showing gratitude each day keeps you humble. Seeing the Lord's hand in your life each and everyday keeps pride away. It keeps you on the right path. I have enjoyed trying to think of something to write each day. I have enjoyed seeing all the many things that the Lord has blessed me with. It has made me happier each day. It has made my burden's light.

This month's posts are probably boring to most - but thanks anyway for reading them.

Gratitude

I've decided that I am not being very positive lately. I'm way to focused on the negative things happening around me that I am becoming a big whiner head. I started my gratitude list a couple of days ago on my sidebar, but it is too hard to write just one sentence, so I am transposing it into posts. I am going to try and add a new post everyday for the rest of the month.

11/10 - Laura - I am copying her idea on the gratitude posts. I have enjoyed each day reading the things she is grateful for. It has helped me see how negative I've been and how much happier it makes you when you think of all the blessings that we have.

11/10 - My washer and dryer. I really hate doing laundry, but I couldn't live without my washer and dryer. I couldn't imagine doing 10 loads of laundry a week by hand. I think we would be wearing dirty clothes a lot.

11/11 - My husband and my father. These are two of the greatest men in my life. They both share the same birthday - Happy Birthday!
