A life adventure with gratitude!
One thing that has totally transformed my life is gratitude. It’s that awareness of all of the good things that surround us, that makes me start each day in amazement. I watch in awe as things happen exactly when they need to, when I need them. As I grow deeper in gratitude and appreciation, the more good things happen that lead me to a peaceful, fulfilled life.
“A thankful heart is always close to the riches of the universe.”
It’s doing “the right thing” in all situations of your life. What may seem as a sacrifice at the moment brings rewards back to you in ways you could never expect. Last summer I was doing a favor to help a friend move. It was a hot day and I had many things of my own to get done. But I took a moment and realized that my friend really needed help. I couldn’t let him down. So I put what I thought was important at the time (time always changes the level of importance of things in our life) and helped him. He was so appreciative! There is such joy seeing others happy! A week or two later, I received a letter in the mail from the bank. That was curious, since I’m always on time with my payments. When I opened the letter up, there was a check! The bank said it was a refund of overpayment of property taxes. The letter said that they would usually keep the money and roll it into next years fund, but this time it was decided they would send the money to me. Coincidence? I don’t believe so, because everytime I put others first- good things come back to me.
Try putting others first and being thankful! Then watch for good things begin to happen in your life!
Have a great day!
