World Gratitude Day takes place on September 21st, 2015. Gratitude, thankfulness, gratefulness, or appreciation is a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.
Today is a day to take time to reflect with gratitude for being alive and being able to enjoy the benefits of life. We rush through our days and by the time evening comes, we often just fall into bed without giving it a second thought. But just for today, stop and think about it.
Celebrate World Gratitude Day Today and Every Day !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Gratitude is the heart's memory.
Proverb
Every day I add at least three things I’m thankful for to my blessing list. Things that I’m grateful for every day. Blessings are gifts that are given to all of us and if you take the time to count them, they really do add up. Feeling grateful and showing gratitude opens up our lives for more and more blessings.
On days that I might be tempted to complain about what I don’t have, I only have to take a look at my list of what I’m thankful for and then I realized I really already have all I need.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!
Gratitude helps you to grow and expands; gratitude brings you and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.
Eileen Caddy
COUNTING MY GIFTS
For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.
Clarence E. Hodges
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3148. for so many blessings in my life to be grateful for
3149. for another new week, another chance to get it right
3150. for thank you’s and smiles, a good way to show gratitude
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
94 Days Until Christmas
It’s time to focus on our holiday values. Our ideas may differ in the details, but most of us want much the same thing: seasonal celebrations focused on faith, family and friends.
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Great to have a day to remember to be grateful; great if we can make it every day, especially like you do, Ma, with listing the 3 things from the day you are grateful for. The pastor at church yesterday said he had gone through a time with some heart problems and was feeling sorry for himself. His wife told him to get a piece of paper and a pen and to write down how God had been faithful to him for the 2 weeks before. He started writing and came up with lots to be grateful for and forgot about being sorry for himself. He too reminded us not to only be thankful around Thanksgiving in November, but daily :)
