More Than Gratitude

[MajestyJo]

For me, thank you doesn't always seem to cover it. The words aren't big enough. I think the words "thank you" are often said without my thought, more by rote than with meaning. It is the same class as "sorry" which is often over worked and not followed up with much thought and meaning.

As they say, "Gratitude is an action word." Don't just tell me, show me that you are grateful and that you are sorry.

There is so much to be grateful for. For me, the biggest thing is my sobriety. Without it, I have nothing, so I try to remember to give thanks daily. Along with that , gratitude for the gifts that my Higher Power has given me, including a roof over my head and the food I eat.

Grateful that I allowed Him into my life and He accepted the invitation.

If we go around with a chip on our shoulder, waiting for someone to knock it off, we aren't quite there yet. Perhaps some prayer should be introduced into the equation, and things can be made right with God, giving Him the thanks.
