How can we move from being grateful in our heart, to expressing it with our mouth? I do believe many people have hearts that are full of thanksgiving for the people in their life, but they just have a hard time expressing it. I want to encourage you…..say the words. Love out loud! Let your spouse, your kids, your parents, your friends, know you are grateful for them. Say the words, I love you, I am grateful for you. If you are in a difficult relationship, Philippians encourages us to look for things to be grateful for….if there is anything praise worthy, if there is any virtue, think on these things, and be grateful for the little things!!!
One of the biggest ways to be grateful in our homes is to just quit complaining. If you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all! Let’s create a peace filled environment with our words, through gratitude and love. Show and tell your love, appreciation and gratitude at home!
