Did you know that there's a solution to the tension you may feel in your interaction with others?

Here's Sam Crabtree.

Relationships that are full of gratitude are well-oiled and happier than relationships where things are just taken for granted.

And nobody says thank you.

Those relationships get, there's a drift, if not a hostility, that you're taking

advantage of me.

And that can be avoided by generous thankfulness.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgam, author of Choosing Gratitude.

For November 1st, 2021, I'm Danegresh.

So, speaking of gratitude, do you experience the power of a thankful heart? I think most of us would say we probably

need to grow in this area. Over the last couple of years, my sweet husband Robert and I have seen

the power of thankfulness firsthand. As you may have heard, in 2020, Robert had two back-to-back

cancer diagnoses in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

And Robert's health situation plunged us into turbulent waters of seemingly endless doctor

appointments, tests, treatments, chemo, and surgeries. But through it all, even in the midst of the most difficult days,

I want to tell you that gratitude has been a life preserver for our hearts. During those months

while Robert was going through chemo, we made it a practice to write down on a sticky note

something we were thankful for every day.

We posted those notes on a wall in our house.

And in fact, if you go to revive our hearts.com and find the transcript for this program,

you'll find a link there to a video showing our gratitude wall.

It was a life-giving place for us throughout
