Giving thanks for all you are given, for all you have is a way to open yourself for more to come. Give thanks for the tangible things and as well as the intangible. Do you have food to eat, good air to breathe and water to drink? Do you live in freedom in a country at peace, have family and friends that love and support you? Do you give thanks for the gift of this life and the spiritual Gifts you have been given? Do you give thanks for what you do have in times of scarcity? Not everyone lives in a place of peace, has enough food and water, is surrounded by friends or family, or feels they have things to be thankful for. Yet if they but look they would find there are always things to be thankful for. The situations and conditions they are in result from the lessons they have chosen to face in this life; perhaps gratitude is one of the lessons. Give thanks for this life that is perfect for you. Give thanks that you are working through your lessons with the guidance of helpers, both the physical and non-physical ones. Give thanks for the Voice that is always there to lead you in the perfect way for your highest good.
Try to make giving thanks everyday a habit. Allow it to become an integral part of your personality so that you give thanks for all things in all times. Having gratitude for what you do have in times of scarcity opens you so that more can be given to you. You have been given everything you need to face your lessons: the perfect time, place, people, situations, the Voice and other helpers. As you face your lessons with gratitude for all that you have it will open you to understanding and appreciating the lessons you face, being more respectful of all that you do have, showing love more easily, and becoming a light for others. Giving thanks, praise, and glory uplift your energy and help clear your core flame to reveal the light of Love.
