Good Day To You,

We all have been inflicted with the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. Each of us have had this malady in our life time. The Baader–Meinhof phenomenon is when you have a certain interest in a specific car or clothing item and you set your mind to acquire the object of your liking. Even before purchase you begin to see this desired car or truck or shoe seemingly everywhere. This is Baader - Meinhof. Your brain is now aware and keenly tuned to the purpose of your soul and will.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

When you give thanks and foster gratitude for the good and wonderful gifts that are given to you by your Father in heaven, you activate a Baader Meinhof awareness for your soul and spirit.

Gratitude is recognizing the graces - gifts given to you - and aligning your heart with humility, submission and thankfulness. This action releases not only scientific proven benefits to your mind and body, like lower blood pressure, endorphins, lower cortisol and many more. But also you move into the “light” of the Father’s character and His light provides greater clarity and vision for you. You are more aware and see other benefits of his grace in your life. You become keenly attuned to his handiwork around you in your family, marriage, children, and so forth.

God-focused gratitude is a key to unlocking mental and emotional strength needed for this crazy world, as well as adjusting our soul to gain wisdom, direction and security. Take a few minutes today and be grateful. Say it out loud. Declare specific points of his provision and see how it’s good for your soul and refreshes your spirit.
