as believers who have been touched by God's grace, we are blessed beyond measure. God sent HIS only SON to die for our sins. and, God has given us the priceless gifts of eternal love and eternal life. we, in turn, are instructed to approach our Heavenly Father with reverence and thanksgiving. but, as busy people caught up in the inevitable demands of everyday life, we sometimes fail to pause and thank our Creator for the countless blessings that HE has bestowed upon us.
sometimes life is complicated; sometimes life is frustrating, and sometimes life is downright exhausting. when the demands of life leave us rushing from place to place with scarcely a moment to spare, we mail fail to pause and thank our Creator for HIS gifts. yet whenever we neglect to give proper thanks to the Giver of all things good, we suffer because of our misplaced priorities.
the words of 1 Thess 5:18 remind us to give thanks in every circumstances of life: "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (NKJV) but sometimes, when our hearts are troubled and our lives seem to be spinning out of control, we don't feel like thanking anybody, including our Father in Heaven. yet God's Word is clear: in all circumstances, our Creator offers us HIS love, HIS strength, and HIS grace. and in all circumstances, we must thank HIM.
thoughtful believers (like you) see the need to praise God with sincerity, with humility, and with consistency. so whatever your circumstances-even if you are overworked, over-committed, and overstressed-slow down and express your thanks to the Creator. when you do, you'll discover that your expressions of gratitude will enrich your own life as well as lives of your loved ones.
thanksgiving should become a habit, a regular part of your daily routine. after all, God has blessed you beyond measure, and you owe HIM everything, including your eternal gratitude......starting NOW !! Have a good day all of you !!!

"When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude." by G.K. Chesterton
