During moments of personal victory Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs used to hit his chest twice then point to the sky. I'm one of very few that didn't believe in the grateful ways he was projecting. I felt it was part of the act. It sold tickets. It's always been one of those silent spots in my heart. Do any of us truly know what being grateful is all about? We know the word. Preachers use it every Sunday. It must be a safe place to stand. On this podcast I dig in deep and openly admit that I believe God looks at me and shakes his head from side to side saying "You have no idea what grateful is." Such thinking opens my heart and mind but does it activate the reason for the change in the season? To be grateful doesn't mean you're in constant victory. How often do you push yourself away from a dinner plate of heavy changes and challenges? Making it through those storms is a step toward gratefulness. Walking away from them is a completely different painting on the wall, "Thank you God for getting me out of that mess!" What if you were meant to be there to pick up a life lesson? Now put it in forward motion.
