Thankful

Having an 'Attitude of Gratitude and Praise' means being Thankful :) It's having a joyful, happy heart for the all of the gifts in your life from God. Even when we face something difficult or challenging, we can still choose to see the good and find something to be Thankful for, right? When you say 'thank you' or feel thankful, that's an 'attitude of gratitude'! 

So how do you show your attitude of gratitude each day and practice being thankful? 

You can let Jesus know you love him and you are so happy he loves you too! You can tell your friends and family they are important. You can give hugs. You can even say thank you for the sun and the sky, for food and full a belly, for learning, for fun, and more! There's nothing too big or too small we can be grateful for! Give Praise to our Father for His love, grace and compassion; for his patience and his strength. For the incredible things only God can do! 

 "I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds." - Psalm 9:1

"Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."  - Luke 5:26

"He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes." - Deuteronomy 10:21
