Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Is the glass half full, or half empty? It depends on whether you're pouring, or drinking.” Bill Cosby

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Ps.107 ESV

God is good and it is good to give thanks to Him. How so? Because giving thanks not only a shows proper appreciation of the creature to Creator, it actually benefits the person giving it with happiness. Grateful people are happy people. People with a grateful spirit see life from “the glass is half full” perspective. It is hard to be un-happy and grateful at the same time. Its like trying to whistle while you’re laughing, you just can’t do it. If we want to be happy throughout the day, began by giving thanks for little blessings; we can even use any temptations to be negative to help. If you think about it, every temptation to be negative is also training ground to find something to be grateful about. Instead of complaining about traffic be grateful that you have an air conditioned car or that you are not walking, or any number of things that are good about your life at the moment. 5/28/2010 Conversations Within ts
