The Power of Gratitude: 365 Quotes and Scriptures for Healing Your Mind, Body, and Heart is a God-inspired manuscript that provides wisdom and encouragement relating to one of life?s most important ingredients?GRATITUDE. In this book, renowned inspirational author and speaker, C. Cherie Hardy reiterates the healing power of a grateful heart. Gratitude is an effective, restorative medicine that is absolutely free and has no adverse side effects. It allows us to get clarity about the root of our turmoil and transform our perception of uncomfortable and difficult situations. This spiritual and emotional transformation often begets physical healing. When we meditate on negative circumstances, the more sorrowful we are likely to become. Furthermore, it becomes difficult for us to realize that our problems make up only a small dimension of our total lives. In other words, despite our trouble, we have so much for which to be grateful. There is so much beauty around us and so much to celebrate. While it takes mental fortitude and spiritual discipline, we have the ability to shift our focus and meditate on the positive aspects of our lives?the things that aren?t broken and battered. When we are thankful and concentrate on the good emanating within us and around us, we are able to experience contentment and peace. It is often during challenging times that we discover the grace of God. We learn that He always sends the rain to make His flowers grow; we can smile in the midst of hardship knowing that He is faithful to bring beautiful sunshine after every storm.
