Just how grateful are you for the blessings in your everyday
life...Do you show gratitude?? When life give you lemons do
you just make lemonade or are you to just complain...
Even tho we have a lot of ups and downs in our lives when we
really take a look around us, we can still see our blessings
and compared to some other issues that other people might have,
ours issues are not so horrendous as we might have initially
thought...

I have so many things in my life that a normal person go through, ups and down even being a failure and being successful. Even thought until now I'm still struggling to have a better life I'm still grateful that I'm healthy and my love ones are still fine. I'm always contented and grateful of what I have and I do not expect too much things that I can't hardly have. I just thought all this things are from God and I must be grateful about it.

Well,I am most grateful that I survive.I have come across some nasty experiences,all of which I escaped rather strange.I am most thankful to God for this.
An old man once said:"I am sorry for atheist.How would you feel if were are saved and wouldn't have anyone to thank for?"

You are absolutely right.I am grateful for the countless blessings GOd has showered me with in life. When we look around us we see so much of misery, poverty, and everyday is a boon to us.God has kept me well and I am ever grateful to Him from the bottom of my heart.One policy of mine is to look only at people who are not as fortunate or endowed as we ourselves are and thank Him for making me the way I am and for giving me all that He has given.he has given me much more than what I deserve.

well bjc66bjc if you ask me there is no gratitude in this world antmore, people are just not grateful of anything. they think everything is all about them it just make me so sick. They think that they can talk to people anyway they like. This world is getting out of control. They have tsken God out of everything and they have the dumb nerve to ask what is wrong with the people today. They have created these monsters and now they don't know what to do with them. I'm so glad I'm saved and I have God on my side. I love the Lord with all my heart. I'm staying in the safty Zone Along with God

thanks for responding..I won't go as far as sayng the world
has lost all gratitude...There are some really great people
in this world.. I often say 'Thank God everyone wasn't raise
by wolves"...I just truiy blame the parents for most of this
disarray of the world...when parents loss control of their
children to Social Service, thing just went down hill...I
can to remember being sent outside to bring back a switch..
and we had never heard of calling the authorities because
we would have never called if we had heard of them, out of
fear..Back in the day getting you butt switched was a part
pf growing up and learning right from wrong...And look at
us we turned out GREAT!!!!!! lol

Gratitude is very good. When you are grateful, you appreciate what life offers and with that you get what you want because being grateful is being humble. God blesses those who are humble. I am grateful to God that whatever he has been doing in my life. I believe that he will bring the best for me. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I think we should always be grateful for whatever blessings we receive each day. Not only for the blessings but also for the not-so-good things that happen because through these we learn how to cope up and be strong. Be it grand or simple, gratitude should always be there. I always try to be grateful in any way I can because I know all that I have right now and will ever have in the future is just temporary and everything will be taken away from me in the right time because we owe everything to Him.

Hi,
When we are in difficulties we always remember God and pray him. but when we are happy, everything is going well we forget to show gratitude to him. There are many ups and downs in our life, but we should remember God is always with us and we should show our gratitude to him for this beautiful life.

You are right but thats dosen't apply to all happy people
who are happy, for I pray to my God when I am happy as well
as when I am in need...I neve forget where my blessings
come from..So not all people for get to pray even during
the happiness....
Thanks for responding...

their would be many factors to have any gratitude, we might complain or grief in short time then move on in life. Those time that we might spending time in our downfalls in life would make us better and wrong thing with that is not growing up those falls. getting gratitude in life would be best thing to do in our success or depends in situation to express our feelings.
