We know that the Bible strongly admonishes us to be thankful. I believe it is one of the hallmarks of a person full of faith, trust and the Love of Jesus. Today in the Warren paper there was an article that a study out of Univ. of California has once again shown the teachings of the Bible to be true. (Now there's a surprise) Here's an excerpt from the article: "Gratitude leads people to act in virtuous or more selfless ways," said DeSteno, whose research was published earlier this year in the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science. "And it builds social support, which we know is tied to both physical and psychological well being." Robert Emmons, a psychology professor at the University of California, Davis, said those who offer gratitude are less envious and resentful. They sleep longer, exercise more and report a drop in blood pressure, said Emmons, who wrote "Thanks! How Practicing Gratitude Can Make You Happier.
Give thanks to the Lord today and everyday. It pleases those around you, it pleases God, and hey, it does you good. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
