show moreToday’s quote is from Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and it is: A single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer.
A Grateful ThoughtGratefulness is important, yes, very important. What are some of the reasons we do not express our gratitude more frequently? Are we too proud? Are we too selfish? Are we so wrapped up within ourselves that it doesn’t even come to mind? Until we realize that all that we have, including the very next breath that we take, comes from God, we will not be as grateful as we should be. Psalm 50:14 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+50:14&version=NLT) Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.
Once we get our vertical thanksgiving correct, that is between ourselves and God, then we can turn our gratitude horizontally. We should easily, freely, and often express our gratitude to our fellow humans. This gratitude needs to be both in word and in deed.Even if some days are difficult, and it is hard to be thankful, there is always someone or something in our lives to be grateful for. Especially on those dark days, instead of seeking someone to show kindness to you, turn the tables and show kindness to someone else. In doing so, you will soon realize that the blessings are returned to you, and be thankful. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians+5:18&version=NLT)
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus
