<DIV>Gratitude is a choice.  If we fail to chose it, by default we choose ingratitude.  And once allowed into the heart, ingratitude does not come by itself but with a lot of other seedy companions that only succeed in stealing joy.  To not choose gratitude - daily and deliberately - is more costly than we usually realize.  And when we do choose a lifestyle of heartfelt, humble gratitude, we are mindful of the benefits received from our gracious Savior and those He has placed around us. <br><BR>By intentionally thanking God and others, bitterness and entitlement are replaced with joy and the humble realization of just how undeserving we really are.  Derived from a popular Revive Our Hearts radio series,  <I>Choosing Gratitude:  Your Journey to Joy </I>challenges and equips the reader to live a life of intention.  A life based on thankfulness - for the freedom Christ has provided and for the blessings of others.<BR><BR>As a bonus, a 30-day plan of journaling, prayer and activities to help the reader on her path to joy is included.</div>
