For your consideration…
We have many messages about the power of gratitude. Today’s message is about the power of “thank you” in expressing gratitude.
G.K. Chesterton wrote, “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
The key word in that quote is “thought.” Our message today is about that thought. When we say thank you, it is meaningless unless we are fully in the moment and thinking our gratitude. That means we engage the other person when saying thank you. Look at them and make sure you have their attention when thanking them.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Remember…You are the keeper of your light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Fully engage in the moment of expressing your gratitude with “thank you.”
What made me smile yesterday…
-A beautiful day.
-I met Alex, James, Conner, and Owen for Sunday breakfast at The First Watch.
-Some more Christmas cards done.
-Catching up with Lori and Cathy.
-Finished a good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
