GRATER or GREATER? RED-KNUCKLER, WHITE-KNUCKLER OR NO KNUCKLER

You great at greeting or grating? What? I remember one time grating cheese when my hand slipped and I grated my knuckles. Ouch. It was a "red-knuckler”. As opposed to the “white-knuckler” we may cause others to have when we are grating-full instead of grateful. When you greet someone, shed some light instead of shredding some fight. And, a li’l cheese wouldn’t hurt! Just sayin’! If someone said say cheese and then painted a picture of you, would it be colored with grateful and great-full or grating-full. Would you see a li’l cheese in you or cheese-graters? Do you notice others and greet with kindness or MEan-ness? Is your greeting grateful or grating? Do you see others around you or just you mostly? Do you want to know what’s on minds? Or just yours…one MYnd-ness! Being grateful for everything and everyone is what makes you great-full. We are all full of great things that can speak to others. And, being grateful allows others to see and hear those great things. If we keep in mind that all great things come from God, we can do our best to keep our great-fullness from grating on others. We don’t want to be full of that kind of grate. Rubbing people the wrong way! Though, sometimes you can’t help it! Being grateful is a choice and being great-full is a voice… Well, being grateful is sometimes a voice, too. But, great-fullness is always a voice…spoken or unspoken. And, it always thanks the One who gives it. Being full of great is being full of grateful. Have a grateful and great-full day. Lay off the other grating-full. If you want to be full of great things, you must be emptied of mindful things and be grateful in all things. Last thing? I may grate on some of you because I’m too cheesey? But, smile and say cheese anyhow! Better to be saying cheese than to be grating cheese. Attitude speaking, that is. PIMP LOL. So, the question is: do you want to be known for your grating or Great Things? I’m great full because of His love and yours. Gratefully, Trace
