August Week 1 - Embracing A Spirit Of Gratitude - Focus On The Positives




Happy August!

Today we are living in a world filled with constant reminders of the tribulations and disappointments that are an inevitable part of life. Rarely does a day go by without hearing messages eluding to evidence that rates of foreclosure, unemployment, crime and divorce are increasing.

In the midst of it all it is important for us to take a moment to shift our focus from the negatives and focus on the positives. Just as we can always find something to complain about, we are able to discover that we have many things to be grateful for.

As we work, pray, and strive to turn the negatives into positives, let's not forget to embrace a spirit of gratitude. This week I encourage you to begin each day by making a list of reasons to be grateful. You may be surprised to find that despite what the media, or world around you proclaims, you are blessed beyond measure. Have a great week!
