GRATITUDE!

It’s one of life’s changing; most amazing words when put in action- GRATITUDE!

A Google definition of gratitude is: “A positive emotion that involves being thankful and appreciative”.

I totally agree with it being an emotion, however for me it’s rather more of a lifestyle. As when making an emotion into a daily action of being appreciative and returning to God and others it goes from living an ordinary life to an extraordinary lifestyle. Why is this? Because we realize that in every situation as confirmed in Romans 8:28 everything that is allowed in our lives has a purpose. Even the most utter pain; the most unexpected events or circumstances bring change into our lives.

Right there! During the trials of life is when we realize that life is full of beauty. That God has a true purpose for everything! That having a positive attitude; having an appreciation for the good and the bad brings us to living a life of gratitude. This emotion and mindset of gratefulness brings utter joy to our minds and heart, therefore will be what we give to others.

This same attitude of positiveness will bring a true change in the way we view life and others. Having a heart but a lifestyle of gratitude releases the best of one’s self. It heals broken hearts; it mends relationships and it bridges a new life. I truly believe every time we are grateful with God through others it brings a smile on Gods face as he is the creator of our lives and has an extraordinary purpose for each of us. Gratitude is not a virtue but an acquired way of life which takes each of us from living an ordinary life to an extraordinary everlasting lifestyle.

Let’s be grateful for everything and bring a smile to God! … Esme🦋
