Gratitude

I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Have you considered that a great benefit to your budget, is GRATITUDE? The attitude of gratitude does not increase your income, reduce your debt, so how is gratitude helpful?
V Taking time to intentionally thank God that you have a bed to sleep on, clean sheets, morning coffee, starts us on the road to not thinking, “What do I want next?” but, ‘look at the abundance I have now.’ My family remembers walking through the Mathare Valley slum in Nairobi looking at smiling children’s faces chanting, “How are you?” They wore no shoes, had one meal a day, no bed mat of their own.
M Gratitude: what you thought you needed becomes a ‘Never mind. I’m content.”
