Gratitude...

Give thanks with a grateful heart.

Give thanks, to the Holy one.

I know I am suppose to give thanks. Do I give thanks from a grateful heart, or do I give thanks because it is required of me.  I often give thanks out of habit without giving much thought to whom I am thankful to or for what I am thankful for.   I go through my day shooting up arrow prayers of thanks. I know that is not wrong,but is my thanks sincere?  Am I just giving lip service to the Lord.  He knows my heart.  Am I truly grateful or just thankful, is there a difference?  I need to be mindful when I pray my thankful prayers. I am offering them up to a sovereign, righteous, gracious, generous Lord who gives me an abundance of blessings.  He deserves my WHOLE HEART  and MIND of gratitude.

A great challenge for me today.
