In today’s message we are studying the power of the practice of gratefulness and thankfulness. This is like the essential vitamin that sustains all of life. It is indeed the most beautiful thing in our hearts to God. It’s the soil where so much grows. If we lose it, we become hard, cold and ungrateful. We then compare ourselves, and judge others, and then even fall into accusation at God for the things that are not. Without the giving of thanks and the lifting of hands we are like spoilt children – entitled and unaware of the blessings. Beloved let us incorporate this ancient practice of thankfulness in the most precious way in our lives. Let us become thankful for small mercies, great mercies and everything that is available to us. Let us be so aware of the simple things and learn to give thanks in all seasons.
