Happy Thursday to you!

Gratitude is power. Not only can it transform the way you think, it can also affect the events that transpire in your life. Gratitude requires a keen awareness of self and your world. For instance, how can you truly appreciate your access to clean drinking water without considering the fact that drought takes place in many other communities? Or how can you truly appreciate having a home without considering the fact that many people are homeless? I believe, like many of you, that gratitude should be practiced daily. In my opinion, it’s a practice that is as important as breathing. You cannot experience a quality life without being thankful. Hence, I have committed myself to sharing a weekly gratitude list via this wonderful online platform. I enjoy testifying of the goodness of God in my life. I love when you take time to participate in this weekly activity with me. I encourage you to utilize the comment section below and share your appreciation for the blessings that have occurred in your life over the course of the past  seven days. Furthermore, if you enjoy this activity, I encourage you to write your own gratitude list every day. It truly is a blessing that produces more blessings.

1 Samuel 2:1 No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God. 9 He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail. 10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed.
