Thanksgiving

Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.

Psalms 50:23

Reflection on Gratitude

Question 1) Is it simply saying "thank you" to the one(s) who has/have helped you?

Question 2) Can you practice "Thanksgiving" in whatever circumstances, no matter in favourable and unfavourable condition?

Express Gratitude

* Appreciate others’ helpfulness to us

* Conserve the environmental resources and are willing to contribute our abilities to the society

* Appreciate with what we have with satisfaction and with positive thinking

Purpose of “Thanksgiving” from the perspective of God…

He encourages us to be satisfied, positive, willingly to contribute.

Reflect Why do we always forget to express gratitude ？

->take it for granted ？ ! -> consider that it is others' responsibilities to do so ？ !

->not know the Power of Gratitude ？ !

The key to a happy, healthy, successful life is Gratitude.

“It is impossible to feel worry, anger, depression, or any negative emotion of any kind in the presence of genuine gratitude.”

"You cannot be grateful and unhappy at the same time."

“Gratitude is a miraculous force, like a magical magnet, generating and then attracting so much more than you have already received.”

“Without a continual affirmation and prayer of thanks and appreciation, we seem to withdraw from the world and get alone. ”

“As soon as we feel gratitude, everything changes. It can transform a situation where you feel sadness to happiness.”

“As soon as we feel gratitude, everything changes. It can transform a situation where you draws loss to you to joy. ”

Look for things that trigger gratitude in your life, even if they may seem insignificant at first. Soon you will automatically begin to feel joyful.

Make a List for you to express ”Thank You”

Focus on the abundance in your liferather than the lack.

Let us wear a pair of spectacles of Gratitude…

Group Activity: Practise “Thanksgiving” in these situation in classwork?

The living area is small ．．．

Argue with brothers the time of using computer at home…

Dinner is just with simple dishes…

Sometimes get sick ．．．

School is small…

Have to encounter heavy workload from assignment and examination ．．．

Construction taken place outside the school campus and cause much disgusting noise.

PrayThanks God for providing me the grace of being abundance in life. Please guide me to stay positive thinking and being happiness and satisfactory. Amen
