I am happy and grateful today because...
Can you fill in the blanks?
Being happy and thankful are keys to finding true success in any endeavor and life in particular.
We can be "happy and grateful" when we understand three things:
- God loves Me
- God has a great plan and purpose for Me
- Everything that happens works toward God's wonderful plan for My life
The Eternal Creator (Jesus Christ) made You with loving care and has Your very best interests at heart in his plan for You. No matter the circumstances You may currently be in ... He is not finished with You yet and You will one day, perhaps look back and see what He was perfecting in You.

Happiness is not a by-product of your circumstances or of what you possess. Happiness is a by-product of our thought processes and believe it or not, you and only you have control over your thought processes. You get to choose everyday what you are going to "think about."
Now, we live in a media and communication age where we are bombarded minute by minute with input that can certainly affect our thinking. Therefore we must make more of a conscious effort to train our minds to think properly. Nothing is so important as "being thankful."
I challenge You to find 5 things that You are thankful for on a daily basis. Perhaps You could start a "Grateful Journal" and write five things in it each day that You are thankful for.
It would change your life!
"In everything ... Give Thanks!"
Have a blessed day.
