S1 Ep8 | The Power of Gratitude

Today we're discussing the power of gratitude. Often, people think of gratitude as merely a fleeting feeling we experience when we think of something good, but gratitude is much more than that. Gratitude is a choice that we make despite the circumstances we're facing - we choose to be grateful. When we choose to be grateful, not only are we humbled, but often we're reminded of our humanity - that all of us are imperfect, all of us are hopelessly lost, yet wonderfully found in Christ. An interesting quote to think about regarding gratitude: "when we know how bad it can get, the good times taste sweet, but when we don't know how bad it can get, even the good times can taste bitter."
