Gratitude

The most important thing I know of is I must continue to work on relationships. To deal with broken relationship one might want to ignore sin, but nothing resolves the problems between two persons like asking forgiveness. We have all heard that confession is good for the soul. When we confess our sins one to another, Jesus forgives and purified us. The doors often open for reconciliation. The most significant way to develop these relationships is to be thankful for the smallest and most obvious answers to prayer. Relationships are spiritual blessings that open and soften our hearts. Sometime back, I read this notation on expressing gratitude by Bill Hybels.
“One summer I took my son Todd to the county fair. We enjoyed some rides, and my tired little by fell asleep in the back seat as we started home. A few minutes down the highway, though, he had his arms around my shoulders. ‘Dad, I want to thank you for taking me to that fair,’ he said. His words moved me so much, I felt like turning the car around and going back for round two! God is our Father, and he, too, is moved when we express our thanksgiving.”
