November is the month where we set aside an official day to give thanks. On the last Thursday of the month most families, friends, acquaintances, people known to us and sometimes unknown, come together to share a meal and give thanks. For most of us it has become a tradition to take a few moments to "give thanks".
To give thanks is having an attitude of gratitude. Giving thanks is one of the best ways to show gratitude for what we have and/or what we are about to receive. Oprah Winfrey has stated: "
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." This same principle holds true for giving. “Give and it will be given to you in good measure, pressed down and overflowing, they shall cast into your lap. For with what measure you measure it will be measured to you.” (
Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010)).
Saying "thank you" for all the good one receives, however small it may seem, (and sometimes not so good can prove to be something to be thankful for) is a simple and easy act to perform, as well as a good and rewarding act to do. Its all about attitude. And the evidence of this can be seen in the above statements.
So don't wait for the 4th Thursday of November (Thanksgiving Day) to say thank you. Say "Thank You" today and everyday.
