Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I am grateful that you have come this evening. Tonight, we shall discuss gratitude and plenty. It is important for your happiness as you go through life to keep an eye on your goals, but more importantly, to constantly be aware of what you have in plenty. Focus on what is available to you, what is plentiful for you, what is abundant rather than focusing on what is scarce or hard to come by.

Many people are driven by their focus on what they want, what is scarce in their lives, and this certainly can be an engine to move you forward but it should not be an obsession for that leads to unhappiness. To be happy, one must be grateful. The two are inseparable and it is a simple thing to give thanks for what is plentiful in your lives and thus to open your mind to the happiness that is available to you.

It takes so little to acknowledge the good things in your lives, even if you have to reach for something, even if it seems silly, do so, give thanks for all the small and wonderful little blessings that surround you. You can give thanks for a beautiful day, a good conversation, having enough to eat, having friends, having family, all these things are plentiful and abundant. You may not have all the money that you want, but look again, and notice that you do have what you need for today. All these things constitute plenty.Somehow, each week goes by, things are take care of, other things are put aside, changes are made, but life is still wonderful. Those times when it seems that you have no where to turn and everything is very dark and terrible, once you are through those times and looking back, you can see how the Father cared for you and helped you, and gave you what was needed, and so it is wise to be thankful, and to grow closer to God in thanking him and acknowledging him.

It is said that the wise man awakens with a song of praise upon his heart and goes to bed with a prayer of gratitude upon his lips. And truly, this is a recipe for happiness in this life.
