• 1:06
  Okay, enough of the advertising.
• 1:09
  Let's get into why you're on this show and why you're listening.
• 1:12
  Gratefulness is the most important thing that we can think about.
• 1:16
  You know, what are you grateful in life for? Are you grateful for the fact that
• 1:19
  when you wake up every single morning, you know that God is with you,
• 1:22
  that God believes in you, that God trusts you, and that God is never going to leave your side?
• 1:27
  I can't tell you how often I wake up and say to myself, oh my goodness,
• 1:31
  I'm exhausted. Well, that's the first thing we think about, right?
• 1:34
  Or my other favorite is, my gosh, this alarm clock is so annoying. But it wakes me up.
• 1:39
  And then after about 17 snoozes, because let's be honest, we hit that snooze
• 1:42
  button a little bit, right?
• 1:43
  We figure out our day's about to start. And for me, it usually starts either
• 1:50
  when I'm brushing my teeth or walking Cody is when I'm in tune with our Heavenly Father.
• 1:57
  And it's not like I just do it to do it. It just happens.
• 2:02
  I feel like it's almost like when you're driving in your vehicle back in the
• 2:06
  day and you couldn't get that reception, but then all of a sudden it just tunes
• 2:10
  in and it's nice and clear.
• 2:12
  It broadcasts nice and loud and you are ready to go.
• 2:15
  That is how I feel when I'm tuned in to the Lord. And don't get me wrong,
• 2:20
  there are days when I don't.
• 2:21
  There are days when I feel like no matter where I turn, no matter where I go,
• 2:24
  the reception just is not clear enough.
• 2:27
  But when I am tuned in at 100%, That's when I make my mark.
• 2:33
  That's when I really hone in on speaking with God and saying,
• 2:36
  God, help me. Help me help others.
• 2:40
  I mean, just yesterday I was on a live and social media and I had people laughing.
• 2:44
  And I was so grateful that I have this gift to make people laugh.
• 2:48
  And last night, my wife and I were watching this married couple do pranks on
• 2:52
  each other. And we just sat there and laughed with one another.
• 2:56
  And it was a long time since I've laughed that hard.
• 2:59
  And it's a great feeling. When you can be grateful for having a moment of no
• 3:07
  worries, of no pain, no suffering, no heartache, no worries about bills.
• 3:14
  I mean, it always unfortunately renders itself back up.
• 3:17
  But while you're in that moment of being happy, being grateful,
• 3:23
  you just enjoy the moment.
• 3:26
  Now, gratefulness can also be looked at in another way too.
• 3:29
  I'm grateful for my parents, for what they do, and how they inspire me each and every day.
• 3:35
  My parents in their 80s, my mom is about to turn 80, and just being in their
• 3:41
  presence and allowing them the opportunity to be a part of their lives consistently.
• 3:47
  You know, it's funny. They call me every morning, or I call them,
• 3:50
  or somehow or another, we get into contacts, and they always need help with,
• 3:54
  you know, electronical stuff, you know, and they always say they're sorry.
• 3:58
  And I always tell my mom, you're not bothering me, mom.
• 4:00
  You're not bothering me because I'm so grateful to have you.
• 4:03
  I'm grateful because when I needed you most, you were there. So it's my turn.
• 4:08
  So this morning, I'm asking you to take a step back and think about what makes
• 4:12
  you grateful and think about who makes you grateful.
• 4:16
  And if you don't have somebody, I want you to know that we here at Half Eight
• 4:21
  Let It Begin are grateful for having you be a part of our life.
• 4:24
  Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for a beautiful morning.
• 4:28
  Thank you for allowing us to come into your home.
• 4:30
  Lord, thank you for just allowing us the technology to do what we can to branch out into the world.
• 4:36
  We pray for all those right now that are in need of prayer, those that are suffering,
• 4:39
  those that are dealing with heartache, those that are dealing with mental illness, diagnosis.
• 4:45
  We pray for those that are traveling, and we pray for those that are traveling back home.
• 4:49
  We ask you to continue to lift up in prayer churches and ministries and doctors
• 4:53
  and nurses, hospitals, schools, children, military personnel,
• 4:58
  veterans, first responders, police, fire and rescue, military personnel, foreign and domestic.
• 5:04
  We lift up our prayer, all those that don't know who you are,
• 5:08
  but seek you, and those that know who you are, but have fallen off the track and need to come back on.
• 5:14
  We pray this unto you, as we pray the words that you taught us.
• 5:18
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 5:22
  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. on earth as it is in heaven.
• 5:26
  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
• 5:31
  debtors. Lead us not into temptation.
• 5:33
  Deliver us from evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
• 5:39
  May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you, and grant each and every
• 5:42
  single one of you peace on earth.
• 5:44
  And never forget, have faith, let it begin.
• 5:51
  I think I pushed the music up at the wrong time. Let's try that again.
