WORD FOR TODAY

Gratitude Part 1

Gratitude for Life, Thankful for each day. Are you wondering what you should be grateful for?

When i woke this morning, like every other morning, i was undoubtedly happy. Happy for so much love within and around me from my creator and i knelt down with my hands clasped together, i thanked him for a brand new day to experience his undying love, for the morning sunshine that peeked through my window.

It is important that we are grateful for all we have, because life is not of our own making but the Almighty. Like an Igbo saying goes, Anyi kene dike na nke omere ome kwa ozo which translates as "if we thank him for the things he does for us he ll do more".

Thanking him always at all times whether the weather be good or whether the weather be bad. As we learn to be grateful, it should not be an act but an attitude. Gratitude is an attitude of noble souls.

Let also be thankful to fellow men when they shew us with kindness. Gratitude dissolves chaos, creates love, brings peace and gives you much more than you can imagine.

So lovelies, be grateful to God for his our maker, be grateful to man for the Kindness he shows you.

Start being grateful to someone today, you may just find something Good.

I leave you with the words of John Wooden "Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books-especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance"
