Gratitude: It's More Than An Attitude

It is important to express gratitude because failing to do so communicates ingratitude, whether we intend it or not. Unexpressed gratitude can have negative effects on our relationships with others, ourselves, and even our relationship with God. Ingratitude may be a result of an inflated sense of self or pride within us. Therefore, we must choose to be grateful every day by deciding who and what we are grateful for and expressing our gratitude to them.
