Thought for Today: Monday November 07:

Remember, a thankful attitude opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto us through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as we look up with a grateful heart, we get glimpses of Glory through those windows. We cannot yet live in heaven, but we can experience foretastes of our ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive our hope. Thankfulness opens us up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, our path becomes an upward spiral; ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some magic formula; it is a language of Love, which enables us to communicate intimately with Elohiym. A thankful mindset does not entail a denial or reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in HaShem, your Saviour, in the midst of trials and tribulations. YHVH is our refuge and strength, an ever-Present and well-proved help in trouble.
