As people who often are more focused on rights than gifts we forget how to be thankful. There are many things we can do to increase an attitude of thankfulness within us.
- Giving - Seeing thankfulness in others will propel us toward giving thanks. When we give we also acknowledge, by our action, that we have more than we need. That is, we have been blessed with abundance. We should be thankful having anything. We should be more thankful for having more than something.
- Remembering/Recalling - When we remember or recall how we have been blessed it is near impossible to not give thanks. When we recall we often are reminded of blessings we've overlooked or forgotten. This happens more when we remember and recall the past together as a group of people. Some of us remember what others do not and we then share thanks.
