Thankful is an Attitude...

I had downloaded the above Facebook timeline cover from Kristi at I Should Be Mopping the Floor. When I added it to my timeline, my mom posted this comment:
Thankful is an attitude we choose which has the power to keep us from growing bitter or angry with life. It's hard to stay grumpy when you take time to count your blessings. In "before amen" Max Lucado says, "To say thanks is to cross from have-not to have-much, from the excluded to the recruited. Thanks proclaims, 'I'm not disadvantaged, disabled, victimized, scandalized, forgotten, or ignored. I am blessed.' Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts. It flushes the self-pity out of our systems."

Let us all remember to be THANKFUL.
