Thankful

. Thank, thanks, thanked, thank you, thank God,

all of these words come from the same Old English

12th century thanc, and have to do with gratitude.

Thankful is to be aware of benefits received.

Thankful is more than being grateful, it is to be obliged,

gratified, contented, satisfied, indebted to, beholden,

pleased, kindly disposed, appreciative, and overwhelmed.

Gratitude is a feeling of thankful appreciation for favors

or benefits received.. You cannot have one, gratitude,

without the other, thankfulness.

"God has two dwellings; one in heaven,
and the other in a meek and thankful heart." ~ Izaak Walton

Life is not one thankful. Life is to have much thankfulness for the many blessings

received every day. The more kindness you have in your heart, the more kindness

you will receive from others. The more love you have in your soul, the more love

you will receive from others. Others are what we must be thankful for.

"If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share." ~ W. Clement Stone

It is O.K. to thank God for your blessings, but it is more important to know that God

only gave you the chance to be kind and loving, it was your choice, your faith, that

allowed you to receive the benefits of God's will. Learn to be thankful for the talents,

the skills, and the opportunity that have been God sent for you to be you. Things mean

nothing if you do not have someone to share them with. If you acquire things for selfish

motives, you will lose them in embarrassing ways.

The antonyms of thankful are ungrateful, insensible, and thankless.

Notice that God made it is too easy to make the choice to be thankful.

Be patient and tolerant, the one you love may not be perfect, but then again nobody is.

  "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~ Albert Schweitzer

It takes two to begat. Kindness will begat kindness. Love will begat love.

Being the person God wants you to be will begat blessings.

Happiness is having more begats than the Bible.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
