In just a minute, I am going to ask you to think of a minimum of three things that you are thankful for, three things in which you have been blessed by God and return praise to Him.  

It is a good exercise to give praise and thanks to God out loud.  It is good to let our hearts open up to the praise of God.  When we express thankfulness, our hearts open our minds open our souls open up to the wisdom and will of God unfolding in and around us.

We begin to see the cup as half full instead of half empty.  And when we believe that God is with us and when we begin take notice how God is working in and around us, we begin to get excited, we begin to see opportunities, we begin respond to circumstances differently, we begin to see people differently, we begin understand how much God has loved us and we begin to love others as we have been loved.
