Our favorite attitude should be gratitude.

The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.

I opened two gifts this morning. They were my eyes.

IT'S A DELIGHT to be around thankful people. They fill up a room with their optimism, thoughtfulness, and peace. In his letter to the believers in Corinth, Paul said that such people act as a fragrant perfume that brings pleasure to every corner of a room.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining - it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems.

How happy a person is depends upon the depth of his gratitude. You will notice at once that the unhappy person has little gratitude toward life, other people and God.

Express gratitude for what you have. This increases the possibility that eventually you will have more to express gratitude for.

We bring a smile to God's face when we express thanks for what we have instead of complaining because we don't have the latest version of a toy we want. We give God joy when we take care of what He has loaned us instead of trashing things.

Sometimes, we rejoice and our hearts almost burst with gratitude, but at other times, we make gut-level choices to thank Him during painful seasons of life.

be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

Spirit doesn't blame for work not done. Life doesn't depend on whether something gets done or not. Work isn't the source of happiness. Your attitude toward your work, not the task itself, comes first.

If the outcome is the best, we thank God. And, if the worst happens, we thank Him more, for He only knows what is right.
