Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18)
A few weeks ago many of us celebrated Thanksgiving. It is a holiday that brings many family and friends together, to reflect on the blessings that our God has given to us.
It is also a great way to live everyday. When we arise we can be thankful for life.
Since God’s word tells us to be thankful in all circumstances, it must be possible, so let’s give it a shot.
What can you be thankful for? Give yourself 60 seconds. Take out a pen and some paper and as fast as you can, write down things you can be thankful for.
How’d you do? Did you run out of room on your paper? Good for you. Did you get stuck? It happens. Just try it again tomorrow and the next day. You may have to train yourself to look for the positives in your present circumstance. That’s okay and it’s worth it.
I believe an attitude of thankfulness does a lot for our overall well-being. Try it and see what you think.
