What are you grateful for?
I don’t mean to just
make a list of
things.
But what are you grateful for?
What about the language of gratitude?
"I get to…"
"I am privileged…"
"I am happy…"
"I am honored…."?
What about this language spells change?
Instead of
"my house…"
"my car…"
"my family…"
"my friends…"
(and usually a gratitude list is in this order)
Instead it becomes the language of:
"I am privileged…..to have my family".
"I am honored…..by my friends".
"I get to…..have relationship today
with those around me".
"I am happy because my life is fulfilled
by something greater than myself".
"I am grateful".
"…for the meal prepared for me
by my Heavenly Father",
… "for the earthly hands
that have helped prepare my life".
…"for the life yet before me".
This gratitude is unconditional and
it matters not if the hands that helped
in the preparation were hands of
adversity,
Love,
estrangement,
kindness,
animosity,
Joy or
hardship.
I am grateful.
I am privileged to have
had the experience.
