Gratitude

The greatest killer in human life is not cancer. It’s not heart disease and it’s not war. In fact, it’s not anything you would ever suspect. It’s ingratitude. (T. M. Moore, pastor)

Are you surprised? Is Moore saying that people actually die physically from an ungrateful spirit? Or is he merely suggesting that the joys and benefits of life are lost when an attitude of ingratitude prevails? In either case, we should all examine our attitudes and lifestyles to be sure that we show gratitude wherever we can. It may save your life!

The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and . . . I burst out in songs of thanksgiving (Psalm 28:7).
