  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: along with my co host today James Fortune, and it's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: time for today's word. And James, will you give us
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: today's word?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Sherry, thank you so much. I want to
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: talk about, of course this week where you know, we've
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: been talking a lot about being grateful and thankful with
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: being Thanksgiving week, and I want to talk about God's
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: will is gratitude. One of my favorite scriptures and we
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: say it a lot is First Us Alone in chapter five,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: verse eighteen, and Paul says, give thanks in all things,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And I love it because gratitude, family, is not just
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: a suggestion, it's actually a strategy that when you learn
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to be grateful in all things, not just when things
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: feel good, not just when the money's right, not just
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: when everything in the relationship is perfect, but in all things,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it changes your attitude and your perspective from complaining to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: actually getting clarity because I can look at my situation
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and say I can still be thankful even in this,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: because That's God's will for my life. See, some people
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: are waiting on a new season, but God is waiting
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: on a new sound, not a sound of frustration, not
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: a sound of complaining, but a sound of gratefulness. I've
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: gotten to the point, Sherry, where I stopped complaining about
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: about what I stopped complaining about what I don't have
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: because I'm too busy thanking God for what I do have.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I stopped complaining about who left, and I started thanking
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: God for who's still here. And at the end of
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the day, when you can have that mindset, it will
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: literally shift your life and shift your perspective. For one,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I'm no longer complaining. I'm now thanking God in all things.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: As Paul says here in First Desalonian Chapter five. Now
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that's your word for today.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I want you to take it apply to your everyday life,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It's your
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Shery Mackie.
• 1:37
