The answer is, yes.  A simple "thank you".  A gesture of looking beyond self, and focusing on others.  School teaches the stuff they need to succeed, but YOU are the teacher of gratitude.

Parents mistakenly believe that children feel worthwhile if they have everything they want.  As parents we do our best, but understanding that giving them everything has a polar opposite effect.  Have you ever had that challenge?

It's all about an attitude of gratitude.  The little things like your first cup of coffee, your toothbrush and the mirror that helps you prepare for the day are all provisions from God.  Little things that make a big difference.  

It isn't easy maintaining an attitude of thanksgiving, because we need or want so much.  Here's a start.  Start by counting your blessings and let the good feelings come your way.  It's true.

Gratitude is a simple act, really.  Focus on God's love, mercy, and goodness.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Like the song says "grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep".  Not so easy to do, is it?

Worry is like a speed bump and we see what can go wrong.  Worry distorts reality.  By trusting God, because he is on your side, whatever the needs are, a solution will be provided.  It's true.

Indifference indicates an attitude of apathy or lack of feelings.  God did not design you to fail or suffer mediocrity.  Trust his word to pull you back and redirect your life. 

Indifference is dangerous because it can quickly become permanent.  God is willing to give you a fresh start, with a clean heart.  All you have to do is ask.

Procrastination has the power to blunt your conscience.  With that, guilt and shame looses its intensity.  Ask God to replace indifference with a renewed love for Jesus Christ.
