Being Grateful – It's amazing how our Creator grants us the freedom to choose how we live. We can either spend our days complaining about the things that haven't gone our way, or we can adopt an attitude of gratitude and thank God for all we have been blessed with. Many people we encounter on life's journey always complain about something – be it their job, their family or friends, how others treat them, their living conditions, their government, and so on. As followers of Jesus, however, we are called to live differently. Our Lord has made it very clear that we should look at each situation from His perspective and give thanks for what we have and the lessons we learn through each circumstance we face as we draw closer to Him. (Psalm 100:1-5)
