And Be Ye Thankful

 
MOST necessary reminder! For how seldom, comparatively speaking, do we remember to thank God for His mercies. And our common mercies we too commonly accept as a matter of course. We shall find that when we are in circumstances of distress and trial we are more thankful to God for His mercies, than when we are surrounded with easy things. Perhaps the reason is, that we are apt to forget God when all is smooth.
