We are all blessed to different degrees in life. There are countless numbers of people praying earnestly for the things we take for granted daily. It is important to realize that the most valuable things in life are given to us freely, and many of us fail to appreciate and be thankful for these. Ingratitude for 'little' things locks up our 'big' blessings and deprives us of the power to live fully and enjoy the present. As we develop a heart of gratitude, the spiritual dimensions of life will truly open up to us. The wonders of gratitude open our eyes to the myriad of blessings that having a thankful heart will bring to us. It helps us appreciate the 'little' we have today and positions to receive all that tomorrow will bring our way.
