“It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” ~Wallace D Wattles

I thanks GOD daily for His many benefits toward me; He surrounds me with many friends and relatives who support and encourage me in everything that I do.

The mere breath that we breathe is a lot to be grateful for; because someone didn’t wake up today and don’t even know that they are not breathing….

“If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.” Author Unknown

Missing the bus or train can be frustrating especially when you’re in a hurry to get to your destination but who knows what accident or misfortune GOD kept us from? I remembered ‘911’ the many people that was saved from destruction for been late that day.

“If you can't be thankful for what you receive, be thankful for what you escape.” Anonymous

I am forever grateful and start each day by giving thanks for Everything that GOD has favored me with ~ for thankfulness brings on happiness.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly grateful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the top 80 percent of the worlds wealthy. Author Unknown

“Let us serve the world soulfully. The pay we will receive for our service will be in the currency of gratitude - God's gratitude.” ~ Sri Chinmoy

With an Attitude of Gratitude,

Grateful and Victorious Velma

I agree Velma, developing an attitude of gratitude is so important. It seems the only time some people pray is when they want to ask for something.

Everyone here is grateful for the loving God who takes care of our needs. We thank God for another day each morning. Taking care of the least of his children is a way of life for us. In exchange we see Gods blessing in the smile of a child. Our income is spent helping others and we thank God we have something to share.
