Good Morning Girlz!!!
S - Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers 3 John 2
O - I do believe having a happy heart affects our physical health.
A - A person who sees the good in things and finds things to be thankful for is going to be less likely to be gloomy. Focusing on the bright side of things frees us from getting bogged down and weakened by the alternatives. Thanking God for all He has done and will do is medicine to the soul.
I have really enjoyed this study so far. When I started it I felt like I had a pretty good grasp on being thankful, but I have since learned I have much work to do. I can be thankful, it's the perseverance part that hangs me up. I am not to just be thankful some of the time or when I feel like it. I am to be thankful all the time. Continually. Even when I don't feel like. There is always something to be thankful for. My selfishness creeps in and bam! All perspective goes out the door and I find myself whining and only seeing things from my point of view. Being thankful is not hard for me; it's doing it all the time that is hard. I want to work on being thankful even when I think I deserve a pity party. Thankful all the time.
P - Lord thank You for all You have shown me so far in this study and all that I have yet to learn.
I think I'll have to work on this gratitude stuff the rest of my life:)
