When Gratitude is a choice this becomes our response regardless of happenings:
"Let me be thankful, first , because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse, they did not take my life; third because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth, because it I who was robbed, not I who robbed"
Matthew Henry
This choice gives perspective and it is the difference between the glass half full and half empty.
Make gratitude a choice by choosing to be grateful for everything and in everything.
