The practice of saying “Thank You God” packs a powerful punch in our desire to be in alignment with our Divine Nature. Giving the gift of Gratitude for every person place or thing in our lives allows us to transcend the facts and appearances delivered by our five senses so that we can connect with the sacred in all of them. It’s as if these three words give us the power to see beyond the packages that the various aspects of our lives are delivered in (the pretty ones and the ones that are not) to reveal the God presence within each. Living in Thanksgiving up levels us to connect soul-to-soul with the presents that we receive moment by moment, as we walk this path of holy enlightenment.

Another magical quality of the gift of Gratitude is that it is the great multiplier. When we are grateful for what we have received we activate the “yeast” of this spiritual practice and more flows to and through us. We can learn well from the master, Jesus the Christ who preceded feeding the 5,000 with just a few loaves and fishes by giving thanks to God. The power that was in Jesus the Christ is within us. We can use it by living in Thanks-living.

Today and every day I live in Thanks-living. I vow this day to give the gift of Gratitude for everything that comes into my life. I realize that by saying “Thank You God” I am putting myself in conscious awareness of the Presence of God within and all around me.
