Are There Health Benefits to Gratitude?

Many doctors and medical schools have documented the health benefits of practicing gratitude. Why is gratitude good for us? Can gratitude be directed toward things? Is there a person that our gratitude needs to be directed toward? With Thanksgiving coming up this week, we wanted to discuss the importance of gratitude and how the existence of gratitude is an apologetic for God's existence.
