What You Need To Know About Gratitude Abundance

By Millie Laker

How grateful are you today? Gratitude abundance teaches you to be grateful for the little things in order to get the bigger things in life you need.

Gratitude is learning to be thankful. Many people think that they have little to be grateful for, however most of us have more things than we think.

Many healthy people take their health for granted. Those who have lost the blessing of health may realize too late how grateful they should have been for those healthy years. With good health, you can work to replace anything else that is lost, even if you must start from scratch to regain the loss.

Most of us should be grateful for the shelter that we have over our heads. Around the world today, there are millions of persons that would be grateful to have only one of the rooms in our homes, no matter how run down that home may be, to protect them from the rain, cold or heat that is outside tonight.

If you are reading this, you likely have electricity in your home. You have a computer and power. Think of the millions to whom such luxuries do not exist.

Are you grateful for the food that lines your cabinets tonight. Millions of children as well as their parents will go to be hungry tonight. These families are not just in third world countries but can be in your own state, city or even on your own street. If most of us do not want to eat what is in our homes we can jump in the car and pick up fast food without a second thought.

Take time to be grateful for your job. Remember that in the recent downturn in the economy many people have lost their jobs as well as their primary means of supporting families. Even so, many will have at least a year's eligibility to unemployment compensation. Without leaving their home, they have money coming into the home on a weekly basis.

Have you stopped to give thanks for your family of origin. They provided for you while you were unable to take care of yourself and may have paid your way through college. Tonight there are thousands of children that will sleep in the unfamiliar bed of a temporary emergency foster care home and may be moved to another home tomorrow. Thousands more still live in abusive homes and will go to bed tonight in fear.

With many things to be grateful for, many people still live life focused on only the negative things that have happened. They choose to focus on what they do not have rather on the blessings that are a part of life. The result of their negative thinking is those very things they long for are being pushed away from their lives.

Gratitude abundance is learning to be thankful for little things in life. This can change the way of life so that the power of those positive thoughts can help you to have those things you need. Start choosing gratitude for your attitude today.
