Attitude Of Gratitude
Contributed by Mark Eberly on Nov 26, 2008 (message contributor)
Attitude of Gratitude
God loves a cheerful giver. God will make you rich if you are generous in every occasion. Somehow I think that God sees this richness in more than just money and material possessions. Don't you? And generosity results in a thankful attitude and even a cheerful attitude.
You've probably heard this saying. Some of us are helped by these sayings. It helps us remember the principle--in this case the principle of being grateful for all that we have and being grateful for those things that we don't have. What kind of things could we be grateful for, which we don't have and probably don't want?
