Half Way Between Thanksgiving And Christmas...
Let's consider the benefits, mind, body, and spirit, of gratitude. Even science and medicine are being astounded at the powerful change thankfulness brings into a life. Scientific types and religious professors are not necessarily blessed with the benefits of gratitude and thanksgiving. But gratitude, sincerely felt, and expressed, is always helpful and healthful. And it doesn't cost a penny, a minute, or a teardrop to be grateful and say "Thank you". And it could be worth a lifetime of health and success... if it is sincere.
A scientific study has found that those who are grateful have a better sense of the meaning of life and benefit from health and often wealth as well. RB
The Profound Health Benefits of Being Grateful
Learn the basics of how the simple practice of gratitude can have positive effects on your health; it might even help you recover faster from trauma and injury.
Gratitude is a simple practice that can have profound effects on your health and well-being. Positive effects linked to gratitude include social, psychological, and physical benefits, which increase the more you make gratitude a regular part of your daily routine.
“The limits to gratitude’s health benefits are really in how much you pay attention to feeling and practicing gratitude,” said neuroscientist Glenn Fox, a gratitude expert at the University of Southern California. “It’s very similar to working out, in that the more you practice, the better you get. The more you practice, the easier it is to feel grateful when you need it.” _______________________
So that is the secularist conclusion which has no Christian overtones but is based on their observations and cold hard facts they have discovered. But their studies on the subject are born out in God's word...
"And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will." Lev. 22:29.
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." Psalms 100:4
"Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;" Eph.5:20
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." Col. 3:15
