When my cup seem half full I look around, and see how bless we are in American.And it should fill all our cups to know God is still blessing us.And we can be thankful for that. He watch over when we are asleep,He lead us when we don`t know how to following Him, He Bless us when we don`t even praise Him. And when you feel like your cup is half full,give Him some praise, and if you don`t know Him give Him your heart today, and your cup will always be full.
Love You,
In Jesus Name

I enjoyed the video to the fullest. It was a reminder to me of who has been in my corner all the time. Yes that video did fill my cup, because of the many blessings I have to be thankful for. To me he is still alive, because he lives within me, and I could never give him enough thanks, and praises. Looking back over my life Jesus has brought me from a mighty long way. There could never be enough thanks rolling from my tongue thanking him enough for all he ha done throughout my life, not counting what he has done for my family as a whole.

i love BeliefNet and have for years, and certainly no disrespect is implied or intended toward Christians or Christianity in general, or the universal message of gratitude and its very real beneficial value, but isn’t this site being a bit presumptuous putting the above video on a common webpage instead of in the Christian section of the site where it obviously belongs ?

“We must remember to count our blessings and name them one by one. And, most of all see what the Lord has done.” ~Jesus has done marvelous things for us, therefore we should give him the praise for his mighty acts wrought toward us, lift up holy hands while yet thanking him in advance for his mighty acts. “Glory to God!” “For the Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations.”
