Gratitude teaches us how to live in this moment unfettered by the past and taking no anxious thoughts about tomorrow.  Gratitude celebrates the God who is and the daily blessings He brings us.  With all the “good and bad” of this day, it is good to be alive in Him and Him in us.  We often whisper a “thank you,” but heart-felt gratitude ascends out of the inner temple as an offering of incense to God.

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Psalm 100:4 (KJV)
