Elation vs Gratitude

Elation vs Gratitude

This is a comparison and contrast paper that pertains to the importance of elation vs gratitude.  Let’s start this off by asking a question.  What is the definition of elation?  The word elation means a sense of happiness, excitement, or jubilation.  On the other hand, the meaning of gratitude means a sense of thankfulness.  I am writing this comparison and contrast paper as a means of practice.  Elation and Gratitude tend to go hand in hand.  When a person is elated, they are happy or joyful.  However, whenever a person has gratitude for something, it has a lot to do with being thankful for someone or something.  

Next, when it comes to the word elation, it has a lot to do with an elevated feeling or a high of some sort.  Gratitude, always pertains to thankfulness.  It is very easy to be thankful for something or someone.  I know for instance, when it comes to gratitude, I am thankful for being alive each day of the week.  I am thankful to God for allowing me to stay alive as long as he wants me.  I know that it makes me very happy to enjoy life, nature, and the environment.  

Further, I want to allow God to be the savior of my life.  I am grateful to have God as my personal savior.  He is always doing for me, more than I am doing for myself.  My gratitude comes in by asking him for the things that I need.  To be honest, God knows the things that I need of long before I can ask him.  According to Matthew 6:8 says the Lord knows the things that you need of long before you ask him.  If the Lord knows the things we need in advance, how come He allows suffering?




Also, if the Lord knows my thoughts and ways, how come he allowed me to get Glaucoma?  Isaiah 55:10 says for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.  Elation to me personally is like receiving some thoughts that are impossible to receive.  Gratitude and Elation tend to go hand in hand.  Elation is a thought, and Gratitude is being thankful for what someone has done for us as well as what God has done for us.  

Moreover, I am writing this for the very first time, since I was in college at the University of Toledo.  I have a lot of gratitude and elation about the University of Toledo.  I am happy to have been a student at the University of Toledo.  I want to say that Elation is a very nice feeling.  Gratitude is thankfulness for what we have received from someone or something.  There are a lot of people who say that I have made a lot of mistakes in my personal life.  However, I am a person who does not dwell on the past.  Isaiah 43:18 says do not dwell on former things nor dwell on things of the past.  I am thankful for not bringing up the past anymore.

Finally, I want to say that God has brought me a mighty long way.  I am the type of person who does not dwell on the past.  For those who dwell on the past all of the time, I will pray for you.  I will depart from you.  Elation to me is a fantastic feeling.  It is like being happy for what was given to you by God or others.  Gratitude is an action word just like the word Elation.  Both of these words are action words heightens feelings.  Both of these words causes jubilation in a sense.  Thank you for reading my blog.


Sincerely,

Anthony Hopkins

Job 15 Commentary and Transparency Statement

Job 15:12 says: Why does your heart carry you away?  What do your eyes wink at,  This means that your stress is getting the best of you.  The reason why stress is getting the best of me is because I have allowed it to happen to me.  I know that I am only a human being.  I am a Work in Progress!  What do my eyes wink at?  I really do not know that I was winking at anyone.  Remember that only a deceptive person tend to wink a lot.  I will admit that I have allowed stress to get the best of me.  I have been under pressure as of late.  I have been dealing with Organized Criminals Worldwide during the past 14 years now.  These people are responsible for messing up my Cellphones and all of my personal email accounts.
