Thanksgiving

and GratitudeAccording to Robert Emmons,

from UC Davis, giving thanksmay be one of the mostsignificant things in your life.Here is what he says aboutgratitude: It has power ... itheals, energizes, and transformslives. Emmons is a researchpsychologist and has spent 12years testing the efficacy of

gratitude and he has foundastounding results.

He goes on to explain thatthere are two basic tenets of ourgratitude. First, it gives us a senseof the goodness of life, thatthere are good things, benefits,and gifts. This does not meanthat life is perfect, but that it isbasically good. The second tenetis found in the question, Wheredoes this goodness come from?With this question, we recognizethat the source of goodnesscomes from outside ourselves.For people of faith, this willlogically lead to God and forothers, their Higher Power.

The contentment that comfrom this gratitude helps us to

not succumb to some of ourgreatest vices. If I am grateful what I have, I will not wantwhat someone else has. I willcelebrate the successes of othas something to be grateful foin itself, which will keep mefrom envy. There is also thatfeeling and intention of seeinthe good rather than alwaysseeing the problems with

the world.Further, Emmons has showthrough his research thatgratitude can be learned. In hbookGratitude Works,he giva step by step approach tofostering gratitude. Throughconsistent recording of eventsgratitude, one can actually foa habit of practicingthankfulness in life. This prac

can incrementally change onelife, so that they will havegreater bonds with communiless stress and stress-relatedillness, more satisfyingrelationships with others, andcan live happy lives.

You may be thinking abouthese verses from the Bible,There is great gain in Godlycontentment, or It is good t

give thanks or Give thanks the Lord for He is good. Peoof faith have always knownabout the importance ofgratitude, and now, thanks tothis research, we can see evendeeper into the effects ofgratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving!Chaplain Brad
