Positive Quote for the Week: The Power of Gratitude

Saying “thank you” most definitely goes a long way. We have all had those instances where we have held the door open for the stranger behind us only to get greeted with a stare rather than a small thank you. It makes you second guess being that kind person in the first place. Gratitude really does make a huge difference but it shouldn’t stop at being appreciative for just the big things like closing on a house or buying a new car, but you should also be grateful for even the smallest blessings in your life.

The fact that you woke up in the morning deserves a thank you, the food on your table, and even down to the air that you breathe warrants thankfulness. So many people are losing their lives every day due to this horrible pandemic and the reality is it could have easily been you. Take random moments out of your day to thank the Lord for the minor and major blessings that He has bestowed upon you.

I cannot stress enough how important gratitude actually is! You also want to make sure that you are appreciative towards your family and friends. Don’t just take for granted that your spouse usually pays for the bills or cooks every meal; let them know that you are grateful for them. Thank them for running the errands, taking care of the kids, or washing the dishes.

This goes for the man or the woman in the home. There has to be a certain level of respect and gratefulness for your partner showing them that you recognize what they contribute to the family running so smoothly. After all, it takes a team effort for a household to work cohesively.

When it comes to friendships your friends should know that you are thankful to have them in your life. Pick up the phone or send them a message just to check on them to see how they are doing. Be vocal about how you value them being that listening ear, giving you the straight truth when you need it, or even being that shoulder to cry on. Gratitude goes such a long way!

Scriptures on Gratitude:

Psalm 136:1 “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”

Psalm 100:4 “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”

Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

Colossians 1:12 “Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”

Colossians 2:7 “Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”
