Experience Joy Through Gratitude

"It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives, but are grateful for the abundance that is present--love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us (happiness)--the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth" (Sarah Ban Breathnach, in John Cook, comp., The Book of Positive Quotations, 2nd ed. (2007), 342.

Our days will be filled with joy, peace and happiness as we focus on being grateful for the small things that are ever present around us.  Gratitude is a spirit booster.  It will help up experience Christlike love.  The nature of gratitude is a Christlike trait.  When we take on this trait, we are becoming more like him.  Gratitude carries with it a peaceful power and will invite much joy and happiness into our lives.

Thanks for reading.  Have joy in your day.
