Grateful Hearts

You are invited to join my revised Facebook group page, Grateful Hearts.

Life is all about connecting and giving thanks. The purpose of this page is to express gratitude for the good we have been given that is all around us. To share insights on how to come from the heart with gratitude and peace while praising my Savior, Jesus Christ.

​​Did You Know...giving thanks is good for your overall health and wellness. Not only does it boost brain capacity, but it also provides an increased sense of well-being. As you practice gratitude, anxiety and depression risks decrease, freeing up your ability to focus on the most important memories and loved ones. Gratitude can also affect the brain by releasing more positive neurotransmitters and lessening the stress hormone.

Gratitude Post: Thanking God for our Many Blessings

I am grateful for the opportunity to gather together with family and friends as we celebrate all that God gives us this Thanksgiving. Although it may seem like a simple family affair, it’s an understatement to say that God is love, as He personifies life abundant and so much more.

Expressing gratitude changes our hearts and showers us with blessings. When we look beyond our own situation, there is so much to give thanks for on our beautiful planet, blue skies, rain when it is needed, flowers with messages of beauty and peace, trees that provide essential oxygen for our survival as well as shade on a sunny day. People who reach beyond their own situations to provide help. But the most important gift of all is the way God secures our salvation through His son, Jesus Christ.

This holiday season let's all count our blessings. When we are grateful our awareness of life expands. We share with others because He showed us how. And most of all, we give thanks because the greatest blessing of all is a loving and generous heart.

Ephesians 1:3 “Praise the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Christ! Through Christ, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer.”

Gratitude Post: Let Others See Jesus in You

I give thanks that grace is a gift we receive when we surrender our lives to Christ. Life without Him can feel like a series of actions, decisions, and corrections, where, try as we may, we never seem to get it right. That’s what we often hear as we venture out into a tenuous world, with likes and dislikes, personalities striving for more, doing what we can to please whomever we answer to. An endless cycle.

But Jesus!

With the Savior as our guide, we have a faithful ally, one who cares about us, one we aspire to emulate. Most of all, He doesn’t leave us to fend for ourselves. While the Bible offers numerous examples of how others navigate life, we are gifted with His Holy Spirit, our constant companion.

It’s not a bad thing to live a moral life, many Christians do. Instead, when we follow Jesus’ example, we have a Savior to turn to, one who walks with us as we learn and grow, one who never leaves us alone. Then, when we ask ourselves, what would Jesus do, we can be confident He will respond.

Letting others see our Christ-centered life is a good thing!

Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
