How to make your life better with a gratitude challenge

Is there a difference between being grateful and feeling grateful? We can choose to be grateful, but is it enough? What if we actually need to feel grateful to see the benefits of gratitude?

If you know me, you know I'm going to tell you we need to give thanks with our WHOLE HEART.

David sings out in Psalm 9:1

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.

Remember, the Hebrew understanding of heart is that - yes, it is the seat of our emotions, but it's also the seat of our decisions and the seat of our actions.

These three - our decision, our action and our emotion - need to align in order for us to do anything and everything with our whole heart.

So make the decision to be grateful, but then do something about it, so you can FEEL grateful as well. It's the feeling of gratitude that makes a difference in the level of our happiness.

Can I suggest a gratitude challenge?

You can start today and do it on your own. You don't need to wait for anyone else to join you. This one comes from different speakers giving Ted talks .

I was asked if I had further study on god as Father. The good news I do-just look below. The problem that many have is that we’ve all had imperfect fathers, so to understand God as Father, we can have difficulties. When we come from homes with silent or absent or abusive fathers, we may not naturally be able to relate to God as Father. But that’s a profound way He has revealed himself to us, and how Jesus taught us to address Him. Here’s some of the ways I’ve cover emphasized God as Father. Podcasts, Live Cast and
