Even though I am very thankful for the many blessings I have received throughout my life, this article is not an original thought of mine. I saw part of a TV show which I totally agree with and I decided to attempt to express the thought.
The fellow on TV said, when you are grateful for the good things in your life you open yourself up to receive more goodness. He said he was referring to God and blessings from God but he did not want to turn anyone off so he would use the word Nature.
He use an example saying; if you had two houses that needed some repair and you gave the two houses to two families.
When the first family visited they always complained about the roof leaking, a plumbing problem, the yard is too small and so on. They were not happy and did not appreciate what they had.
When the second family visited they were happy that they had a roof over their head, a porch to sit on and a yard to play in. They appreciated what they have.
If you acquired a third house and it was in excellent condition which family would you give it to?
The family that did not appreciate what they have would find things to complain about in the new house.
The family that appreciated what they already have would be more thankful and appreciative of an even better house. You would naturally help the family that was appreciative.
I believe the Lord will bless those who are thankful for what they have.
I think we should be positive about all parts of our life. When you think in a positive manner you will knowingly or not, work towards those positive thoughts.
Having faith and being positive are basically the same thing. Good things happen when, “you have faith”, and or, “think positive”.
Have a positive day.
