Living In Gratitude

This week I have heard the word gratitude a
couple of times. I looked up the meaning of
the word and what we can do with it.

Thursday here in USA is Thanksgiving Day.
Families traditionally get together for the
day and have dinner together. It is a national
holiday. 

Gratitude means your grateful or thankful for
others especially those you are close to you.
Circumstances can lead you into being grateful
as well.

Example: my cousin Rob Shaw his son Michael
had a skiing accident seven years ago when he 
was hurt with a spinel cord injury. Fortunately
he recovered quickly unlike others who come down
with the injury.

Michael talks with many people including young
people about being grateful. His life has become
better for being grateful and he wants others to 
know the same.

Being grateful isn't always the easiest thing to come
by but those that do live a healthier life to.  Jesus
Christ said to forgive others. His disciples asked how
many times a day. His response "seven times seventy".

Forgiveness isn't easy especially if you have been hurt
by someone or a member in your family has.  Gratitude
for our lives can help in this matter too.

We can't live a life of bitterness. Most likely we won't
live as long and we will have regrets too. So while you
live a life of purpose live in gratitude too. Amen!
