“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”
Colossians 3:15 says:
Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.
A heart of thankfulness positively affects one’s entire being. Many scientific studies confirm this. Here are some of them.
