Thankfulness changes us, it has the power to enrich our lives more than almost any other act. For me, it is a daily habit to give thanks to the one who made me and gave me salvation. I can never go a day without thankfulness when I recognize those two facts. Things may appear to be heading in a downward motion but there is always something to be thankful for.
I want to issue a CALL TO ACTION. Try writing down all the things you are thankful for every day for the next month and see how you and your family will be transformed.

K. Chesterton
