This attitude pleases God!

It’s good to be thankful and appreciative. It puts you in the right attitude and mindset. However, did you know that it is the will of God to be thankful? God is pleased when we recognize the value of people, resources and opportunities. Then we value what we have, who we are, and our family and friends, we will treat them with respect and honor.  And in doing so, we are also honoring God. When we go through challenges in life, we are also called to be thankful . The challenges of life help us to not take things for granted. Be thankful this week in all things, and you’ll be able to see value in things that you hadn’t seen before!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”

MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A BLESSED AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Are we truly grateful?

Are we grateful for what we have around us, or have we gotten used to complaining about what we don’t have, like so many people around us who are always complaining.

We see it every morning as we drive to work.

We see it every day as we take the train.

We see it among our co-workers who continuously complain about how hard their jobs are and how bad their bosses are, yet they still have a job to go to. How many do we know today that don’t have a job and would gladly take your place?

Ps 7:17 TLB

17 Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because he is so good. I will sing praise to the name of the Lord who is above all lords.

As we get closer to the Thanksgiving day holiday, be reminded that God has blessed us with every blessing in spiritual places. Let’s be grateful for what we already have instead of complaining for what we don’t have. God is pleased with those who are grateful!
