EVERYONE gets to decide how HAPPY THEY WANT TO BE because EVERYONE gets to decide how GRATEFUL THEY ARE WILLING TO BE
(Ann Voskamp)
Here are 3 cornerstones for a GREAT DAY
Cheerfulness
Prayerfulness
Gratefulness
1Thessalonians says….“Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live”
The definition of a cornerstone is: an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based.
This scripture is important to all of us. If we depend on and base our life on God’s Word we are guaranteed to have a blessed life. It may not be free from troubles, but there will be many things to be grateful for while we are facing the challenges.
William Ward wrote: GRATITUDE can transform common days into thanksgivings; turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
So today decide to, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving” (Psalm 100:4) and as you do that you will experience His presence and where His presence is. . . “ there is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11)
Joy is always possible as long as we are thankful. You get to decide how joy-filled or joyful you are because you get to decide how grateful you’ll be.
