INTRODUCTION:

Gratitude Works is an easy way to access the power of counting our blessings. Through the eyes of gratitude we open our hearts and bring joy into our lives. There is an awesome force in the universe that steers the stars and guides the planets. We marvel at the wonders in our world and sometimes question where they all come from. It is said that we already have everything we need. Everything has been given and nothing is expected in return. Everything is a gift! What is often missing is our appreciation for it. Our inner world of thought creates our outer world. Words of thanks can change our thoughts, and by changing our thoughts, we can change our lives.

Gratitude Works is more than a pretty book to set on the shelf - it's a book to be used. This collection of three hundred and sixty-five short stanzas explores what we have to be grateful for in our lives. Each day focuses on one main thought, and the four lines that follow expand on that thought. The book can be read from beginning to end or opened at any page and used as a daily guide. It takes you through the seasons of the year month by month and inspires you to think of the things in your own life that you are grateful for.

Gratitude Works helps us stay in the present moment by being grateful for what we have now rather than dwelling on the past or dreaming into the future. It helps us learn to stop taking so much for granted. It reminds us to give thanks before our prayers are answered knowing that the blessings will come. When we realize how much there is to be thankful for and recognize the ways we are already blessed, we feel closer to God. When we feel gratitude for each moment, we enrich our souls.

Everything is an opportunity for us to expand, to learn, to grow, and to love. We hope the gratitudes we've written resonate with your life and prompt you to remember to be thankful. We hope being grateful for one thing leads to two and three and more until it ripples out and enhances your whole life with deeper meaning. We hope gratitude speaks to you and touches your soul. The world is rich when it's seen through the eyes of gratitude!
