We don’t have to try hard to find things to complain about, but depending on how we choose to see life, we can see the good in every situation and if the truth be told, there is more to be grateful for than not. The many blessings that God has bestowed upon each of us are innumerable and to count them, would be to limit them, but our blessings are unlimited! The fact that you are reading this e-mail is testimony that you are blessed. Some people were here last year this very time of year, but have made their departure from this earth. YOU are still here. Therefore, this week’s topic is on GRATITUDE.
I am asking that you simply name one thing that you are grateful for. Certainly you can name more, but at least one. There is power in the written word. When written, your words continue to speak to the universe 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so put your gratitude to words.
I am grateful for supportive people in my life.

ReplyDeleteI am grateful for a sound mind. I believe myself to be of sound mind. As I observe the sitiuations around me and I listen to the stories on the news I can't help but realize how fragile is our state of mind. Having a sound mind is something we can easily take for granted.
ReplyDeleteI am also grateful to you Dr. Merritt for taking time in spite of your busy schedule to motivate and encourage others. Thank God for people like you who seem to have a sincere desire to tiredlessly work toward the betterment of others.
