Your Adoption Journey - Gratitude

My daughter came home from preschool and announced to my wife and I that we each needed to say a Thankful before eating as we sat at the dinner table.  It became our way of praying before dinner.

Several years later I turned off the morning news deciding that I would rather start my day with good vibes.
This morning I came across a different way to Be Thankful and thought I’d pass it along. Feeling gratitude feels good.  The world needs more of that.  Thank you! – Greg

 

Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.
