"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 I am not a naturally grateful person. It is easy to thank the stranger who held the door for me, repeatedly thank the teacher who helped my child learn math, or thank my family for once again forgiving me for burning supper. But a general sense of, "Oh, how blessed I am," doesn't come naturally; shamefully, I find it easier to think of the things I don't have or how life could be better than of my many blessings. Most people find it easy to show gratitude when someone has done something kind, helped them, or at the very least cut them some slack. But having a general sense of gratefulness is harder. Can you relate to one of these situations? We thank the server for bringing us our meal, but we neglect to give God glory for the ways He provides for us daily. |
