What have you got to be grateful for today. Gratitude abundance will teach you to be grateful for many little things so that you can obtain those bigger things you need.

Gratitude is an attitude of being thankful. While you may not think you have much to be grateful for, if you stop and think, you probably have more than you think.

One of life’s greatest blessings is health. Persons who are no longer healthy will remind you that they should have been more grateful when they had their health. Persons having health are able to start again even when everything else is lost. They may regain lost items and rebuild items of importance.

Most of the persons reading this article have a warm shelter in which they reside, yet around the world today millions of persons would be grateful if they had the smallest of rooms of our homes for their entire family to spend the night protected from the rain, heat of cold that they will be sleeping in tonight.

Persons reading this article have electricity, computers and power. For millions around the world these luxuries simply do not exist.

Have you stopped to be grateful for the food you have in your home. Tonight millions of children will go to bed hungry. These children are not just in third world countries, but may be just around the block from your own home. They could be down the street or even next door. Yet we find ourselves not wanting what we have but something else, so we head out to dinner without a second thought.

Take time to be grateful for your job. Remember that in the recent downturn in the economy many people have lost their jobs as well as their primary means of supporting families. Even so, many will have at least a year’s eligibility to unemployment compensation. Without leaving their home, they have money coming into the home on a weekly basis.

Have you stopped to give thanks for your family of origin. They provided for you while you were unable to take care of yourself and may have paid your way through college. Tonight there are thousands of children that will sleep in the unfamiliar bed of a temporary emergency foster care home and may be moved to another home tomorrow. Thousands more still live in abusive homes and will go to bed tonight in fear.

Even with so many things to be grateful for, there are many people that live their lives focusing only on the negative things of life. They focus on what they do not have rather on those things that they do have and should be showing gratitude for. As a result of their negative thinking, they are forcing away the very things that they say they want to have.

Gratitude abundance teaches you how to be thankful for the little things. This will change your way of thinking so that you can use the power of positive thinking to get the things that you really want.
