Wise Quotes - A GRATEFUL HEART

There is a saying that "A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles". 

Every morning while praying with my kids before school, i make it a habit of thanking God for the weather, whatever it might be for the day. When i first started i realised the kids were puzzled as to why i had to thank God for the weather, especially when it's started off dark and gloomy with rain pouring down.

I explained to them the importance of everything God made and how beneficial it is to us as well as every thing being a blessing including the rain.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

 I also had to explain that there is a time and a season for everything so if we wake up to a gloomy day, it might seem bad for us but for the farmer down the country side, it'll mean water for their crops.....like wise a sunny day will mean something to us. So in everything we must thank God. Since then i noticed how they also started praying and thanking God for the weather and by doing so their attitude towards the day changed positively.

By being appreciative of little things like the weather, it's amazing how even if we're going through the rain, we don't worry about getting wet because we know they are showers of blessings.

We must learn to be grateful in whatever situation we find ourselves and give thanks. A positive attitude always penetrates a bad situation. 

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17).
