RE: An Attitude of Gratitude [Podcast]

Hey, you sound great! the little mic is a keeper.
As a non-believer, I have many criticisms... but in general, Gratitude seems like the one and true way to say "you know what's best for me" and "I notice all the small ways in which you make life better".
God, if there is such a being, supposedly has a plan for each of his children, and asking for anything (especially personal) is indeed like using God as a genie, or at least it signals that his plan is 'not good enough' - that one must plead with him to change his plans in one's favor.
Therefore, gratitude, sends a message of acceptance, and appreciation for the role that he has bestowed on you.
Do I understand it fairly?

Yeah, He does have plans. And if we live according to His will (the bible) we are on the right path. Problem is, we're born sinners so we fail almost daily...If not hourly lol
Along the way, He still blesses us with so many gifts. Life, health, food, family, things we take for granted. So it's always important to be thankful as we live this life. It's not promised, so I try to remain in a state of gratitude and praise.
Completely understand that. I was never raised in a church, was pretty much as secular as it comes. The 'church' has a lot of cleaning up to do and it does deserve a TON of criticism.
