An Attitude of Gratitude

“I just thank God first for everything. Sometimes I pray when I really feel I need God to help me with something. God is my homeboy. Jesus is my homeboy.” – Queen Latifah

Most of us were raised, to say “thank you” when someone gave us something. Besides being good manners, it has a spiritual connotation. Gratitude can transform an overwhelming storm of disappointments, delays, interruptions, losses, and conflicts into a calm sky of possibility and serenity. Gratitude can make all things right. Gratitude is a key of wisdom into the mysteries of the past, a beacon of understanding into the confusion of the present, a perfect map for the trip into the future. Gratitude will make us be thankful for all of our blessings. When we ask why should we be grateful, just look around at all the good things our lives contain and know that any of the terrible roadblocks cannot block your goals when you are grateful.
