True Gratitude

I usually keep my religious feels to myself when it comes to anything "internet" related...I don't know why, but that's just how I am, but today when I read this, I know that I really needed to hear it. So I wanted to share it.

I know that I constantly need to work on the gratitude that I receive daily that I should be giving back. I don't always accept it or realize it as often as I should. Especially lately.

"True gratitude is the ability to humbly see, feel, and even receive love. Gratitude is a form of returning love to God. Recognize His hand, tell Him so, express your love to Him. As you come to truly know the Lord, you will find an intimate, sacred relationship built on trust. You will come to know He understands your anguish and will, in compassion, always respond to you in love."
