Blessings and Gratitude

I've decided that God has blessed me in so many ways.  In order to honor Him ~ I must focus on gratitude for all the wonderful people in my life.  It's human to take what we have for granted until we don't have them any more.  It's no wonder my all time favorite movie is "It's a Wonderful Life".  And we can have a wonderful life despite all the troubles we encounter because we know that we are loved.
So why not enjoy the gifts we've been given instead of focusing on the negative and worrisome troubles in our lives? That's God's job to take care of.  He wants us to focus on Him - not our troubles. Because when we do - we are not putting Him first. 
Today - I'm throwing out all my bad and negative thoughts "out the window" and will continue to be grateful for my family, friends, and the all the other blessings that have been given me.  
I know it's one day at time - so that's what I'm going to do today and hopefully tomorrow and the next day and so forth........
