Gratitude Challenge Day 59
Do you find it difficult to remain grateful on some days? Does it ever annoy you to see people who seem to be grateful all the time?
Join the club! The writer of Proverbs can relate:
A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse! Proverbs 27:14 NLT
Researchers have discovered that some of us are indeed hard-wired to be more grateful. Whether our genes, our brains, or even our personalities, there are many factors working for or against our grateful disposition.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t become more grateful. Gratefulness is fundamentally a choice and the emotions will eventually follow.
We’ve documented extensively through this challenge the many benefits and challenges to gratitude. In this episode, I’d like to discuss a couple of biblical reminders that can help us on those days we don’t “feel” like being thankful.
