Thanksgiving: The Power of Gratitude

Gratitude is the most healthy emotion. Scientist have found that there is nothing better for your health. It is a stress buster! Almost 90% of all doctor visits are linked to stress! Gratitude is also an immune booster. Studies showed that people who were grateful on a regular basis had a higher number of blood cells that help protect the immune system. Same was for those recovering from surgery or fighting a disease, they all had better outcomes. Gratitude actually rewires our brain. The physical, molecular, neurons, are actually changed with gratitude. It is like a work out for our brain for the better! I love how gratitude is directly linked to biology. It was almost like God knew this, and in creating this as a repeated theme in the Bible. But what does the Bible have to say about being Thankful or why we should be thankful? Thankfulness, being thankful, and gratitude are mentioned almost 200 times in the Bible, so its a pretty big deal.
