Do you know that the apostle Paul likes to start his epistles by thanking God for the people in the church? He often ends with personal greetings to individuals. Being thankful to God for the people in your lives is an excellent practice.

GRATITUDE

• Shields you from negativity
• Makes you at least 25% happier
• Rewires your brain
• Eliminates stress
• Heals
• Improves sleep
• Boosts self-esteem and performance
• Enhances the law of attraction
• Improves relationships

Sadly, the Asian culture lacks the habit of expressing thanks. We are respectful. We are taught to thank someone who helps or gives something to us. However, we are not accustomed to do it as spontaneously as we should. Due to the desire for excellence, we become more critical and see the “bad” rather than the “good”. It's time to change!

Our church has dedicated September as the Appreciation Month. We thank those who serve us in the church. We thank every person who is in our lives. Their presence and friendship contribute to us in ways that we cannot even imagine. We won't be who we are today without other people that God places in our lives. 

Follow Paul who said, “I thank my God every time I remember you.” (Philippians 1:3) Look around. Say “Thank You” to your family who loves you and to those who serve you. Above all, bow before God and tell Him, “Thank You, God, for loving me.”
