Want to have less stress and be healthier? Cultivate gratitude.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's a good time to remember how blessed we are. When we hear the news, watch TV, or read the headlines, it is a good reminder to be grateful for what we have and who we have to share it with.
Despite hardships and loss, God continues to bless us. Please take a few minutes to reflect on the grace that God gives.
Cultivating gratitude is good for your soul but also for your health and well being. This is more than "seeing the glass half full instead of half empty" or "positive thinking." Cultivating gratitude is looking for God in every situation and looking at each person as a reflection of the image of God. Cultivating gratitude helps us discern God's blessing. It does not minimize suffering, but it can help you be open to love and be loved.
This Thanksgiving as you eat, shop, watch TV--whatever, thank God simply for being our God.
Blessings,
Kathy
