My Gratitude List

God is my source, and I am grateful for all my blessings.

Boy do I have many things to be grateful for.  I make my gratitude list daily. Sometimes after I journal or simply think them in my mind as I am going through my day.

As a child, I was taught to say thank you when I received a gift or kindness, and I continue this practice today.  Every person is a channel through which blessings flow one to another.  All blessings originate in God.  So I also say "thank you God" for blessings seen and unseen.

Writing my gratitude list makes me beem with excitment on days things are going well.  On days when challenges occur, a gratitude list reminds me that there is good and that is where my focus needs to be.

If I am disappointed that something I needed or wanted has not shown up as expected, I remember that God is infinite Source and not limited to any one channel. I am grateful in advance for the blessings to come and I release any limiting thoughts about how they will flow or what they will look like.  God is my Source and I give thanks for all my blessings.

Many times I ask God for guidance and I don't see an answer.  This is becasue I have put an expectation of how this is to unfold.  When I get out of God's way he always answers my prayers with the answer for my highest good.  He has vision that I don't have. I can't always see the big picture. He only wants me to be happy, joyous and free. Go God

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.  Psalm 100:4
