#277: Attitude of Gratitude

Is negativity killing your family’s culture? Today we are talking about gratitude and how powerful it is. Just in time for Thanksgiving (which we did on purpose) we want to talk about gratitude, gratefulness, thankfulness, and joy! As we prepare for Jesus’ birth, we need to start practicing our gratitude muscle – because this season is ALL ABOUT HIM!  “Gratefulness is an attitude of gratitude. When you are full of great if flows out of you!” - Suz  Here are the main topics from today’s episode: Lead by example – parents, say thank you first!  Building gratefulness in your littles- it starts before they can talk   Gratefulness is a superpower (More on this in Episode #91)   Examples of building a grateful culture Gratitude is...  The condition or quality of being grateful; an emotion or sentiment of thankfulness. A warm sense of appreciation for kindness received; accompanied by a feeling of good will toward the benefactor, and a desire to repay the favor.  Thankfulness is...  Recognizing who God is and what he has done. Joy is... A feeling of good pleasure and happiness that is dependent on who Jesus is rather than on who we are or what is happening around us. Joy comes from the Holy Spirit, abiding in God’s presence and from hope in His word.  Define these with your family this month and practice them! We believe these are the ingredients to a life-giving culture in your home. When we focus on building gratefulness, thankfulness, and joy - gratitude will become the norm. Practice these things this week and watch how your family culture changes for the better!  Podcast Resources: Give us a review!
