It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.&quot;<br \/>\n\t<strong>&#8211; Melody Beattie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;It&#39;s easy to feel grateful when we receive a raise, meet the love of our life, or watch our children succeed, but spiritual gratitude is not circumstantial.
