Thankfulness

*Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 thessalonians 5:18



For a little of the past 24 hours I have been thinking alot about being Thankful in my situation. It is super hard to be thankful but I have so much in my life to be thankful for. I have an awesome family who love me, a house to live in, a car to drive, amazing friends, a job...I could go on forever about the things that I have to be thankful for. Over the past day I have realized that there is always something to be thankful for even in the hardest of times. I shared this scripture because it doesnt say be thankful for all things it says be thankful in all things and thats what I am having to do right now in my life is to realize that yes we can be thankful for all the things we have but when we get to a hard time in our lives we tend to forget about them. In the most difficult situation you can always find a reason for a thankful heart. I read the phrase today
'I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet'. No matter what the circumstances, I believe that there is always a reason to be thankful. Your situation may never change, but your attitude toward the situation can. With an attitude of thankfulness you can make the most out of a difficult situation.
