There are many books out nowadays that address the topic of gratitude. In fact, I just Googled "books gratitude" with over 43 million results. Clicking on the first result, Amazon.com, I found that they had a list of 36 items under "Books about Gratitude." No doubt some of them are helpful, but recently I've been looking at gratitude without the aid of a book.
For the week leading up to Easter Sunday, I'm making a point of writing down seven things I am grateful for every day. Even though I'm trying not to duplicate gratitudes already listed, it seems the more I look for what I am grateful for, the more things to be grateful for show up in my life.
It seemed appropriate when I suddenly realized yesterday, that the greeting cards I was creating contained spring flowers and colors with the message "thank you."
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings! (Henry Ward Beecher)
