I have been reading Proverbs 31 Ministry each day for my daily devotions. I sometimes make the excuse of not always having time in my busy day to include God, so when I have a free time at work, I usually pop into Proverbs 31 Ministry for my daily dose of devotions. Believe it or not each time I am on there the devotion always hits right at home for me. With it being close to Thanksgiving and the season of Giving and being Thankful...Today’s topic being close to Thanksgiving and the season of Giving and being Thankful was Thank You Power, written by Rachel Olsen…the verse that she uses is
“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)
The devotion goes on explaining that a research study showed the great benefits of being grateful. It said that grateful people report higher levels of positive emotions and are more satisfied with life. She also goes on to say that people that keep journals about gratitude on a weekly basis is healthier. How great is that???
Also if you go to Rachel Olsen's Blog it talks about the Gratitude Journal…I am thinking about starting one, because this would be a way for me to go back to the journal to reminded that I should be grateful and should be praising God.
Hope you enjoy:)
God Bless.
