Matthew McCanaughey’s speech when he won the award fir BEST ACTOR of the year. His speech moved me. He said,
“I want to thank God because that’s who I look up to. He’s graced my life with opportunities. He’s shown me it’s a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates.”
According to Robert Emmons, a pioneer in the study of gratitude and a psychology professor at the University of California, Davis, gratitude involves acknowledging the good things in our lives — from the beauty of autumn leaves to the generosity of friends to the taste of a good meal — and recognizing the other people or forces that made them possible. Gratitude helps us savor the good in our lives rather than taking it for granted and yearning for what’s next.
GRATITUDE GIVES YOU a SENSE of CONTENTMENT.
Where we go wrong, however, is when we equate our happiness to our achievements.
I thank God Almighty for His goodness. Sometimes he answers the prayers we forget we asked in the past. His timing is transcendent – beyond our understanding, always the right time. Thank you Father GOD for friends and families.
Psalm 107:1 (NIV), declares, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Teaching us that gratitude is not just an expression of appreciation for what we have but a recognition of God’s enduring love and goodness.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess 5:18)
It’s all about GOD, our Creator!
