When I was a little boy, my mother made it clea that folk don't have to do anything for you and when they do, be sure to say thank you. I've made that a practice throughout my life and that's why everyday, no matter how I feel or how things look, I get up thanking the Lord, I realize that He's really better to me than I deserve and when I consider where I would be without Him, I truly thank Him.

As we enter this season, if we're going to experience the fullness of God's glory and tap into the outrageous opportunities that await us, we must have a true attitude of grattitude. We cannot afford to focus on situations and circumstances that are not ideal, but must focus on what Jesus has already done. I want to make this personal and challenge you to consider what the Lord has done just for you!!!
