Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It is rightly said, "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life”. It turns what we have into enough, and more. 
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend
.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
[b]I agree with this fully; I experience this truth each second.
I am always grateful to the Almighty, my forefathers, my family members, my friends worldwide; I always feel happy; gratitude has unlocked the fullness of my life.

Funny you should bring this subject up during our countries time to think about everything we are grateful for. In the US, on the fourth Thursday of every November we stop everything we're doing to give thanks to our Creator (no religion or person is left out) and no gifts are given or received. We gather around a table full of food to share the things we're grateful for.
Most of us have turned this entire week into a testimony of sorts of what we are grateful for and share our list with coworkers, neighbors and friends. It makes us happy. No one has so many problems that someone else doesn't have more. Topping the list of problems would be fatal illness, mental illness, and major diseases.
The very best thing we find to be thankful for is our family and friends sitting around the same table of Gods bounty sharing our food and our lives with each other once again. In essence, the food is Gods presence with us!

I don't know about this, is that what you do on thanksgiving day? Then its really worth. Yes we should be grateful for everything we got on this earth by the Almighty.

Yes, in the US this is what we do every year without fail. It began when this "new land" was in it's infancy. It was still part of Britain. They were the kings subjects yet. Then they found how much bounty was here, the first time they realized we could sustain ourselves without Britain's help. Although most were considered pilgrims and were God loving puritans but there were native Americans who knew nothing about their God.
To this day it does not matter what your beliefs are, even if you do not know God. Thanksgiving Day is for giving thanks to whatever you want to thank. I really think that is great!

I agree, but do the people always remember the so called"gratitude" all the time .All are so busy with their life they don't even have time for themselves and their family. People now are always in hurry and always complaining about some or the other things.

I know many people who have rosary rings to pray in the car. Women who have rosary bracelets to pray while waiting for their doctors appoint, etc and many to take a few minutes every morning and every night to pray and thank the lord for their bounty and ask him to watch over those they know and love.
Don't loose faith in the human spirit! You'd be amazed at the number of people who do believe and give thanks on a daily basis. You may not realize that a person is faithful just be looking at them.
People are surprised when they are in my car or visiting my home that I am faithful and have the pictures and statues to show it. I just don't put on for public display. It's deeply personal to me and I don't want someone to think they can argue my beliefs.

This month I've been doing a month of reflecting on the things that I am thankful for and I really think that it has been a wonderful exercise for me. You see, I've been a person that has taken things for granted in my life. However, in the last month I've realized that even though there are things that I've had throughout my life, I should never take those things for granted.
I feel like in coming up with one thing that I am thankful or grateful for each day has made me really grow as a person in my opinion.

I don't believe that it is possible for a person to have a full life if they do not show gratitude in their lives each and every day. We not only have the Lord to have gratitude for, we have family and friends that we should definitely be thankful as well in our lives.
I do think that there are times in our lives that we don't show the kind of gratitude that we should be showing in our lives. That is actually one of the many reasons that I decided to take part in a month of thanks of facebook. In doing that, I've been forced to search a little bit deeper for things that I have to be thankful for in my life.

We will be much happier when we develop an "attitude of gratitude."
