Thankfulness & Joy

I was reading this morning and wanted to share some of the thoughts from a book I was reading by Debi Pearl -

"The joy of the Lord is my strength." "Give thanks, always"
Thankful people have a view of life that begins somewhere deep inside their souls and outside circumstances just can't mar their joy...........Joy begins with thankfulness..........Quite often our attitudes hang in the balance; by making a conscious choice, we can tip our souls into dark moods of complaining or into thankfulness and praise.......Thankfulness is how you think; joy is the abundance it produces........Learn to enjoy life. Be thankful. Smile.........when you catch yourself becoming irritated or disturbed at circumstances, stop & laugh at the little things that steal your peace. Count your blessings and learn to be appreciative...........Thanksgiving produces joy. Open your mouth & begin to thank God for his grace towards you. Thank Him for every good thing He has brought into your life. Thank Him, thank Him and thank Him again.........Joy is the result of a thankful heart. A thankful heart is the result of a person who decides to give thanks.......... So say, "Thank you, God, for........."
