Gratitude

Why is it easier to think of the things we don’t have rather than the things we do? Why is it easier to complain than it is to praise? Why is it easier to be disappointed than it is to be content? What if it is because our attitude is largely connected to our gratitude? Something happens within us when we take time to say, “thank you”, that removes the focus from ourselves and places it on others. In the end, it is an act of faith to be grateful, and it makes us more like Jesus.
