GRattitude

Why is it so much easier to have an attitude, than it is to have gratitude?

I whinge about aches and pains instead of being thankful that I have a pretty healthy body.

I complain about not sleeping well, rather than being thankful that I have a bed and a roof over my head.

I say there is nothing to eat, yet I have a house full of food, that I have no money, yet I have a bank account and a wallet.  

As I thought about these things (and many other similar lines I could write), I was challenged to try and turn my attitude, into gratitude!

"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness". Eph 4:22-24
