Is thankfulness a way of life for you? Is it a daily habit? I believe that people who practice gratitude daily are people who are highly successful in the things they do in life. Even the simple acknowledgement of thanks for God as provider for our meals is extremely powerful. Jesus set the example in John 6:11 when he broke bread, Jesus gave thanks to God the Father. We have so much food in the US and Canada that it is easy to take this for granted. When I taught school, you would not believe the amount of wasted food I saw in the cafeteria tables and garbage bins. Do we take the time to teach our young people that many in our world today struggle for daily nutrition? The malnutrition epidemic in Burkina Faso Africa is bring tackled by local entrepreneurs by selling caterpillars for people to eat and meet their nutritional needs. Does this fact encourage you to appreciate your toast with jam in the morning? Give glory to God !
What are you grateful for?
