A friend posted this on Facebook. It caught my eye, because I had just finishing thanking God for all the good things in my life.
Every morning, either before I get out of bed or during a walk, I give thanks. This morning it was for a good night's sleep, a great training session yesterday, the well received dinner I made for my clients last night, the opportunity to make money and some other great things I'm looking forward to.
I find that starting my day by reflecting on what I'm thankful for usually (sometimes even prayer can't prevent days like Tuesday ) sets the tone for a positive, productive day.
How does giving thanks impact your life?

It makes you not take things for granted and keeps away the feelings of "poor pitiful me".
ReplyDeleteI also think it makes you realize that in bad times, things could be so much worse.
It makes me a more positive person, a less selfish person, a more adoring Christian and generally more likeable to the rest of the human race.
ReplyDeleteI think that I am thankful for words. Good words, bad words, words of love, words of wisdom, words of thanks, words of praise, words of advice, words of warmth, words of knowledge, words of courage:)

ReplyDeleteI think it has a huge impact. It's so easy to overlook what we're thankful for and just go about our lives in our own little selfish ways.
