Giving Thanks

If we are breathing and given another day, I believe there is always something we can be thankful for. Thankfulness has been the best medicine for my soul when all I can see are  things not as they should be. Give thanks at ALL times, God's Word says. It is hard to focus on our worries, our hurts, our criticism when we are giving thanks for what is right, what is good and what we can praise God for. Isn't it so much more pleasant to be around a grateful person than a critical complainer? Who do you want to be known as? You choose. No matter what your circumstances, you can choose words that are life-giving or words that tear others down. You can choose an attitude of joy with Christ leading you. I pray you would make the wise choice because we are blessed people, y'all!
