It’s not easy being grateful all the time. But it’s when you feel
least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you.

Truly rich is the person with a grateful heart.
Grateful individuals possess a treasure
that cannot be stolen or spent because it comes
from character and perspective, not circumstances.
The riches of gratitude can be ours
whenever we are willing to acknowledge
the goodness of God and the many ways
that others’ lives influence and bless our own.
