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 figured it was the group I grew up in, so we’re the only ones I should probably poke fun at. Apparently some people didn’t’ know that about me. One day I came back into the class with a fresh cup of coffee before the break was over. There was a group in the back corner and I went to see what was going on. One of the guys turned to me and said, “Can you believe these guys still think tongues is still a gift for today?” “Hey me too!” I laughed, “I pray them every day!” Then I challenged, “How do you strengthen yourself ...
