Attitude of Gratitude

So many people seem to be having so many problems now. Problems are bad anytime but especially at Christmas. We have just passed the Thanksgiving season when we should have been giving thanks for everything we have in life. But, wouldn't it be wonderful if we had an attitude of gratitude all throughout the year ?

If as believers we would have a grateful attitude even in the hardships of life, perhaps unbelievers might wonder why we don't complain. What an opportunity for us to share the love of Christ with them and let then know that even in the difficulties of life, they have Someone who will give meaning to their lives.

Let's check our attitudes today.

"Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live."
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (MSG)
