the power of gratitude
when my older son was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, my first reaction was relief - i finally knew the reason for his behavior. however, i was also overwhelmed with sadness, fear and anger. i felt sorry for my son and for myself. like many others in similar circumstances, my question to god was "why me?"
through the grace of god, i am now able to focus on my gratitude. i believe god chose me to raise my son because he knew that i would give him the best i have. he will teach me to love and understand him for who he is. i am grateful that i have my son, and grateful that god chose me to be his mother.
there is power and healing in gratitude.
how can gratitude help us in our everyday lives as moms? think about the difference you can make in your family’s life just by noticing and being thankful for all the great things they do. when you express gratitude, you show your love and appreciation. everyone needs to feel these things every day. sometimes as moms we feel that no one appreciates us - and it is true that moms are usually last on the list to be thanked. one way you can teach gratitude is by example. even on the days when it seems your children or husband are doing everything wrong, find a reason to thank them. take the time and energy to look for the good. think about the things that your family does that deserve a “thank you.” you might say to your husband, “thank you for working so hard for our family," or, to your child, “i really appreciate your sense of humor - it feels good to laugh.” expressing your gratitude helps family members to understand how it feels to be appreciated. and if they still don’t catch on, let them know when you feel unappreciated. you can also tell them how great it makes you feel when they do express gratitude.
gratitude is a wonderful motivator when you need cooperation. when enlisting the help of my two year old, i praise him often and with enthusiasm. i let him know that he is a great helper. i know i am teaching him appreciation because he expresses it to me. the other day i brought a bunch of multi-colored roses home. for five days, at least once or twice a day, my son thanked me for the flowers.
sometimes we get so busy and caught up in daily life that we forget to be grateful. we expect everyone to do their share without being asked. the only time anyone hears anything is when a chore has not been completed. this attitude, over the long haul, will develop very resentful and uncooperative family members.
when life is good, gratitude is easy. it becomes more challenging to be grateful when we are experiencing hard times. financial hardship, long-term illness, the death of a loved one and marital strife can all be trying and difficult. it is hard to find anything to be grateful for. but while pain is inevitable, suffering ……此处隐藏3449个字……hanksgiving".
thanksgiving is a virtue, is a long history of cultural heritage. its source is like the flowing streams of love. memories of history, we were so touched by the story of a mother to son: ancient, can become the big industry, at three moves, for future generations to leave" told " the story. in modern times, a well-known anti-japanese general ma jingzhai 's mother, she was arrested, the face of the japanese threat, without fear, decided to allow her son to the war of resistance against japan, then fast to death. ma jingzhai wrote the" great mother, live on in spirit, son of bearing mother, continue to struggle.". this one case, a hymn to love, do not reflect a mother do great?
my mother is an ordinary, but, she is in a breezy morning gave me life; she is in transverse oblique rain on the road of life, gave me strength; she is, in my setbacks, gave me confidence; and she was, in my be big with pride when my humble church. from the bottom of my grateful to her for years, although lost her youth and beauty, but she in my mind forever is cupid, aphrodite. hard although took her beautiful singing voice, but her every word is in my heart jin yan rhyme, it is the mother of its own actions tell me one of the most common sense: love is selfless dedication.

i know, our happiness is the smile on your face, our pain is your eyes deep sorrow. we can go far, far away, but never go out of your mind the square, what affects my soul, always inspire me is your sincere and selfless love, you are like the world all mothers love their children. i wish to be a cup of tea, you thirsty, let you drink, i would like to turn into a breeze, blowing your because of the work and sweat, but, i am not, i can only give you every end of herbal tea, give you fan. can you forgive me?
