Thanks
I was staying in the home of some good Christian friends of mine. One morning I got up feeling rather sorry for myself and kind of grumpy. No one else was up, and so I went down to the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee, which I was told the night before would be ready for me. As I stood at the kitchen sink sipping the hot brew, I noticed a card on the bulletin board beside the sink. This is what it said:
GREET EACH DAY WITH THANKS!
Wow! What a rebuke! I immediately thought of the verse that says, “Be ye thankful” (Colossians 3:15). So many times the Bible exhorts us and reminds us to be thankful.
We are to be thankful when we have prayer requests: “With thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6).
We are to be thankful at all times and in every situation and circumstance of life: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
How thankful will you be today?
