giving thanks: what I learned as a child vs. what I learned as an adult.

What a terrible approach to gratitude. I much prefer yours.

I was raised in the Roman Catholic church (which took a very long time to get over), but my father always taught me to pray by thanking god for providing for me in advance. Although I don't often pray these days, when I find myself in need, I always think of those things I lack and send a mental thank you note to the universe for them.

So far, so good.

Sending you much love, and hoping you are blessed with much abundance in this moment...

oh, that's how I was told to pray too -- but you know, the actions louder than words thing...

thank you so much for the love and blessings ♥

What a beautiful affirmation! I agree with you completely; that's a much better attitude to have (and, I think, one that's much more likely to bring the things you are looking for!).

[belenen]

I agree! ;-) thanks for the comment!

I love that!

yeah it covers prettymuch everything. :-)

haha, that's what I was told, but actions speak louder than words. But the more I grow up the more I experience the truth -- that I can trust God/dess to provide. ;-)
