Living in Gratitude

2024-11-25

A grateful heart can be a posture of life that leads to personal and physical health. Like a Spiritual Director once said, "“It is not happiness that brings us gratitude. It is gratitude that brings us happiness.” Learn how to live in gratitude.

“It is not happiness that brings us gratitude. It is gratitude that brings us happiness.” Gratitude is a loving and thankful response toward God for His presence with us and in the world. Though “blessings” can move us into gratitude, it is not at the root of a thankful heart. Gratitude is putting our focus on God’s character – His goodness – AND His presence. God's goodness is the heartbeat of thankfulness.
