Attitude of Gratitude!!

http://youtu.be/R9z2ELaBVJY
I am determined to start my day with Gratitude for all the Lord God has blessed me with beginning with a sound mind, my five children, 3 grandsons and my husband, my parents who are still living, my sisters and brothers, friends, my business and most of all for God's Grace, Mercy & Lovingkindness!
I remember reading an article in Success Magazine about 'Being Happy'! One of the things they found as they interviewed happy people was "Happy people let Love Lead their Lives"!
People who are Happy have the same fears, dissapointments, frustrations as anybody else, but rather than dwell on these things, they focus on Gratitude, what they do have and are thankful for! They have a 'nourishing support system' in other words 'friends & family' ! They take the time to develop and  build relationship!
The other things of course, we all know, Exercise, Eating Right and Getting Enough Sleep will help our Attitude & Mindset!

Give Thanks to the Lord for He is Good, His Lovingkindess is Everlasting! Psalm 136:1

We can have Joy in all circumstances!

"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." I Thessalonians 5:16

I have found as Paul, the Apostle said, that I can be thankful and happy in all circumstances because of the Unfailing Love of God!

Cultivating Community

The wisest man in the world, King Solomon wrote in Eccesiastes 4: 9 &10
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

if one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

We are relational beings, we need one another, to encourage and lift each other up! We need someone to hold us accountable! I am thankful for the inspiring and loving people God has put in my life to be a friend and mentor. I pray God help me to be the friend, mentor encourager, woman of God, he has called me to be.
