I show gratefulness by fully enjoying the bounty of my life and figuring out how to share that with others. I’m fond of the wisdom found in this thought in Ecclesiastes 5:-18-19:
“Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.”
I also revel in the fact that the first miracle sign Jesus performed was making wine. I like the tone of that inaugural act and it speaks of a God that could enjoy following as well as serving.
