Did you ever know someone who, no matter what was done for him, found something to complain about? If you gave him a gift it was either something he did not want or something that did not fit. When he sat down to eat nothing was right—too hot, too cold, or he just plain did not like it. What a sad way for a Christian boy or girl to act!
A person who is happy and thankful does not need to say so with his mouth. Just the expression on his face and his attitude show us he is happy and not a grumbler. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-1816Rejoice evermore. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16‑18) gives us a guide for the life of a happy Christian. “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks.”
